German & Spanish – (B.A.)

MML is for academically ambitious students who wish to maximise the depth and breadth of their expertise in two language areas, and to develop their research skills beyond undergraduate level.
The first two years are identical to the BA, but are followed by two years of highly specialised study (the equivalent of the final year at BA). These two years include M-level training in research methods and critical concepts. Students complete two M-level dissertations, one in each language.
The programme involves four years of study in Manchester, with a range of options on the period of time spent abroad (minimum of 8 weeks in each country) representing a unique opportunity to make the most of your Modern Languages degree.
MML German and Spanish gives you a comprehensive grounding in German language, literature, culture, history and linguistics. It enables you to become proficient enough in German to live and work effectively in a German-speaking environment.
The course will also give you a thorough grounding in the language and culture of the Spanish speaking world.
Core German language courses at all levels of study are complemented by a variety of other subject areas, and by a period spent in a German-speaking country. We have specialists in an unusually wide range of German-related subjects, so that you can focus on subjects that really appeal to you in your final year of study.
This is a four year course with part of your third year being spent abroad under approved conditions in a country where Spanish is spoken. The course immerses you in Spanish language and Hispanic culture. It also provides in-depth knowledge on Latin America and the opportunity to learn Catalan.
