Program details

Overview

German Studies is a Bachelor of Arts major in the Faculty of Arts examining German cultural life, including literature, thought, art, music, and scientific inquiry, from the eighteenth century onward. German-language study is a core component, with many courses taught in German alongside study of cultural works significant to German and European culture. Course examples include German Language, Intensive Beginners; Topics: German Language and Culture; Fin-de-Siecle Vienna; and Post-Wall Culture. The major can be paired with minors such as Linguistics, Religious Studies, Geography, or Anthropology, and is related to majors including History, Linguistics, English: Cultural Studies, Liberal Arts, and Anthropology. Graduates apply language and cultural knowledge to careers such as translation, language teaching, research, and diplomacy, or pursue further study of German language and culture at the graduate level.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants apply through the Faculty of Arts. McGill's admission requirements vary by educational background (Quebec CEGEP or high school, Ontario high school, other Canadian high school, U.S. high school, international curricula, home-schooling, university transfer, or mature-student status) and by the specific programme; grades equal to or above published minimums do not guarantee admission, and the review may consider the complete academic record.
