About

German at Leeds

German is taught in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures.

If you choose to study German at Leeds you will be joining one of the best centres for the subject in the country.  German at Leeds was ranked joint second in the UK in terms of the quality of its research in 2008, and enjoys a first class national and international reputation for its teaching, facilities and the quality of its graduates.

What you can expect from us:

  • Excellent and enthusiastic teaching by top researchers in contemporary German culture, history and film, with a wealth of opportunities to develop and explore your own interests.
  • First rate standards in language teaching at the heart of all our programmes.
  • An excellent and well-funded range of choices during your year abroad. All of our internships are paid, and all of our University and British Council places are supported by ERASMUS grants.
  • A strong track record in graduate employment. Germany currently has the strongest economy in the EU and many of our graduates have begun their careers working for German firms.  Alongside graduates working in journalism, teaching, law, management and translation, we have graduates with Allianz, KPMG Luxemburg, Siemens, Goldman Sachs and the European Union.
  • A friendly and inclusive atmosphere. With eleven full- time members of staff including two full time Lektors and around 60 students in German each year, we are big enough to offer the range of modules you want, but small enough to know each other by name.
  • An active, welcoming German Society that organises regular social, sporting and cultural events.
  • Fantastic facilities to support your study and leisure, and a vibrant city within walking distance of Campus.
