BA in German Philology

The objective of the Bachelors in German Philology is scientific examination of German language and literature, its development and functions in present and history as well as the cultural, social and anthropological-symbolic processes they are embedded in. Thus, language and literature are to be understood as comprehensive cultural phenomena which help to recognise, understand and form them and foster reflection about social and cultural processes, also in view of future development; a special emphasis is put on the gender aspects which also characterise language and literature in our culture.
