Undergraduates

In the German Department at UCL, we aim to build on our traditional strengths in language and literature, setting these in a broader historical, social and cultural context.

History, politics, film, cultural studies, in addition to literature and language, may all be studied in their own right, taught by specialist lecturers.

In the last Teaching Quality Assessment, the teaching of German at UCL was rated 'excellent' by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. All teachers are at the cutting edge of research in their respective fields: in the last Research Assessment Exercise, the Department was awarded the highest score of 5* A.

Application and admissions

All undergraduate applications must be made through UCAS and cannot be made directly to UCL.

We want to be as sure as we possibly can that you would find UCL a conducive learning environment and that you will enjoy and profit from your time with us. We therefore invest a considerable amount of time and care into our admissions procedures, ensuring that German is strongly represented the Open Days for SELCS (the School of European Languages, Culture and Society).

No prior knowledge of German is required; we teach at all levels from beginners to post-A Level. Typical offers are AAB at A Level or equivalent. A foreign language at A Level or equivalent is preferred.

UCL is committed to offering educational opportunities to all capable of benefiting, regardless of background (see UCL's Access Agreement).

If you have further queries about the department or our programmes that the information here does not answer, please  contact Joe Taylor,  the Admissions Officer for SELCS.

Further information about admissions processes for all SELCS undergraduate courses can be found on the SELCS admissions pages.
