| Course Description |
The German Honours Program consists of two coursework components, a thesis and a thesis-related seminar. The coursework components can include courses in other discipline areas or Honours programs approved as suitable within the student's overall program. Where students' coursework is not specifically designed as an Honours course, students will need to do extra reading and longer essays. Where a student's active command of German is seen as needing improvement, practical studies aimed at increasing proficiency may be prescribed. |
| Learning Outcomes | On successful completion of the Honours year, the student will have a deep understanding of the chosen field of study. He/she will have refined his/her analytical skills and research techniques while significantly expanding job and study options. A bachelor degree with Honours is both a prestigious qualification in its own right and also the most effective means of qualifying for higher degree work at Masters and PhD level. |
