The School of Modern Languages will be teaching German at undergraduate level until 2013, after which the degrees will no longer be offered. This means that we will not be admitting new students on to the programmes as of 2010. The information on this page will continue to be of interest to all our students currently on the programme who will remain unaffected by this development.
