German Studies

German Studies courses can be studied as a major or minor in programs out of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.   These courses can also be taken as electives in most programs. 

The Diploma in Languages offers and alternative to the major and minor sequence in a program.  It is available to all domestic students who are enrolled in any undergraduate Bachelor degree at the University of Adelaide and consists of studies in a single language over three years.

All languages are available at either beginners or advanced level. Students reduce the study load in their Bachelor degree each year, and extend the studies toward their degree over an extra year to accommodate the language sequence. This means, for example, that students may graduate with a Bachelor of Economics, Science or Arts, and a Diploma in Languages, in 4 years of full-time study. Students may graduate from the Diploma in Languages at the same time as, or after, graduating from their concurrent degree.

The German Handbook provides more information about studying German at the University of Adelaide.
