The German Studies bachelor program aims to train professionals in German language and writing, who are capable of a high level (at least C1 CEFR level) use and acquire in-depth theoretical and practical information related to German in the areas of culture and history. These skills and theoretical knowledge enable students to perform in managing and organizing tasks for tourism, the economy, the media and the press, culture and public administration, and in general they acquire the ability to translate and interpret texts. Note that the program does not offer teaching qualifications.
Specializations:
- German language in the economic and business communication
- Translation (German – Hungarian; Hungarian language skills are required)
The BA program comprises a 3 year course of studies. The program is divided into two tracks: the first year track offers a general introduction, the second and third years are reserved for the main module. At the end of each track there are complex examinations. At the end of the general track students take the language proficiency examination, at the end of the main module they take the final examination and conclude their program.
Find the detailed structure of the program on the site of the Faculty.
After graduation, graduates can work at various companies where good language skills and general knowledge in business, culture, creative writing and translation are needed.

Entry requirements
The students who can apply for the German BA Program are expected to present the documentation of their certificate of matriculation from a secondary school and to submit their application with the necessary attachments.
The university only accepts certificates, which are equivalent to the Hungarian certificate of matriculation, thus appropriate for continuing one’s studies in university education. If the certificate is not in English, the university needs an official translation, which could be a translation by the secondary school as well.
If the applicant completes their secondary education during the current term and their certificate is not issued before the application deadline, a proof of student status or a certification, which verifies that the applicant will receive matriculation is required instead. In case of being accepted as a student, however, the applicant must present their certificate of matriculation upon enrolment at the latest.
This program is not available for Hungarian citizens.
The educational and outcome requirements are defined by the Ministry of Human Capacities, Regulation No. 18/2016. (VIII. 5.). The details of the application and admission process are defined by the Organisational and Operational Regulations of ELTE.
