Careers and Higher Education

At university, German can be studied in combination with a wide range of subjects, including business, law, sciences and engineering. Many universities also offer the opportunity to study German in combination with other important world languages (such as Chinese, Arabic, Russian etc.) which can be studied from beginner level. Students can therefore go into a wide range of career areas, including translation and interpreting, teaching, international business and manufacture.
