German studies
This area covers German language and literature, German as a foreign or second language, Dutch, Scandinavian studies and Low German. This page lists 442 programmes at 70 institutions.
German studies (Germanistik) is taught at universities. It usually combines linguistics with medieval and modern literature. German is also a teacher training subject.
German as a foreign and second language looks at how people with another first language learn German, and how to teach it.
International applicants to German-taught programmes need proof of their German, such as the DSH or TestDaF. Each institution sets the level it requires. Details come from the institutions' own websites, and the institution's page is authoritative.
