You will begin with strong foundations and gradually progress to more complex subjects. You will refine your English to C1–C2 and start German from scratch, reaching B2 by the time you graduate. By comparing lexical, grammatical, and phonetic features of both languages, learning to switch fluently between them, and exploring links between English and German literatures and cultures, you will develop genuine multilingual competence. Interdisciplinary courses — from applied informatics to digital content creation, data management, and web technologies — will prepare you for a successful career.
