Career opportunities

Combining German with Music enables you to take music to degree-level whilst studying Europe’s largest native language. You may even be inspired by the fact that German is the language of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Schubert, Brahms, Wagner and Schoenberg, and thus offers you special access to a rich musical tradition. On the music side of your course you will be able to study performance, composition and musicology, and explore a wide range of musical styles and traditions, from western classical music to commercial music, jazz and pop. Music at Southampton also offers options in music business, music therapy and community music.

On the German side, you will complement your language learning with modules on history and contemporary society, literature and film, or linguistic studies. Our programmes offer considerable choice, although language learning will be a core component throughout your course. Apart from developing your proficiency in German you will develop a broad range of study skills that prepare you for post-university life and are valued by employers. Whilst a degree combination that includes a language already enhances your employment prospects, our programme builds a broader range of study and communication skills that are vital for succeeding in the world of work. You will learn to absorb, analyse and assess a wide variety of viewpoints, express arguments in oral and written form, and to think and work independently and in cooperation with others. You will learn how to do primary research yourself, applying a range of concepts and methods.
