German
More than 130 million people speak German around the world and German is also the language with the most native speakers in the European Union. Because of its historical association with both artistic and scientific disciplines, German is a particularly useful language for students majoring in business, economics, and natural sciences, as well as for those interested in music and visual arts.
Our department offers introductory classes of German.
