Areas of coursework include German language and linguistics, nineteenth and twentieth century German and Austrian literature. The coursework assumes an advanced level of fluency in German and requires substantial reading in the original language. You should also have an adequate command of English.
Unless otherwise determined by the lecturer concerned, all literature and linguistics units are assessed by a 6,000 word essay.
