Programmes for this goal

First 10 of 224. Curricula evaluated so far for 41 of 409 universities; the other programmes appear by their subject. Subjects that lead to this goal: German studies, General literary studies, German as a foreign or second language.

How is this ordered?

First, programmes with one of this goal’s subjects (German studies, General literary studies, German as a foreign or second language) as main subject whose official name mentions a core topic of the goal – more important core topics first, teacher training last. Then the other programmes with one of these main subjects, the subjects taking turns. Then programmes that have one of these subjects only as a minor, finally programmes of other subjects with a fitting curriculum, by share of the programme. In every step universities take turns in a fixed order that stays the same for each goal and does not follow the alphabet; among the first ten places a university has at most two where others exist. An evaluated curriculum is shown but does not change the order. Not a quality ranking.
