Philology and Language Teaching: German Language

What is taught in this field

Alongside an in-depth study of the German language, this program teaches the foundations of philology and linguistics. Students master German grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation and develop speaking and writing skills.

The program includes German literature, regional studies and the culture of German-speaking countries, translation theory and practice, and methods of teaching German. Practical classes help students work with texts, analyse them and translate them.

Who graduates become

Graduates may work as German language teachers, translators or interpreter-translators. They can also become philologists and researchers, editors, proofreaders, international relations specialists or linguists.

The level of specialisation and additional qualifications affect a graduate's professional path. A strong command of foreign languages and the ability to keep learning independently are valuable in any position.

Where you can work

Graduates can teach in general secondary schools, academic lyceums, vocational colleges and higher education institutions in Uzbekistan. Work is also possible in translation agencies, publishing houses, media, tourism and hotel companies, international organisations and structures cooperating with embassies.

Knowledge of German may be needed at enterprises with foreign investment, in joint ventures and in fields where economic ties with Germany are developing. This opens wide opportunities for graduates.

Who it suits

This program suits applicants who enjoy languages, pick up new words and grammar rules quickly, and are inclined toward study and independent learning. Young people interested in German culture, literature and history, who are open-minded and enjoy communicating, will find many opportunities in this field.

Clear speaking and writing, good memory and attention, and respect for other cultures are important qualities. If you are drawn to languages and communicating with people, this direction may be a good fit for you.
