MA的目的是扩大学生在其BA课程中学到的知识。完成一小部分核心要求之后
The purpose of the MA is to broaden what students have learned during their BA program. After completing a small set of core requirements, students may pursue their individual interests from among the courses offered by faculty who specialize in German Applied Linguistics and Literature and Film Studies, and other affiliated departments at the University. Each MA student has the chance to co-teach an undergraduate class, to receive teaching training, and to complete a university teaching program (milestone: Fundamentals in University Teaching) during their graduate studies at the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies. The Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies offers degrees in German and Russian (BA, MA, PhD) and courses in Croatian and Dutch. We are also offering a minor concentration in Cultural Identities together with the Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies. Home of one of Canada's largest and most diverse German programs, the department plays a leading role in the dissemination of German and Slavic culture in Canada. Our faculty members have expertise in second language instruction, applied linguistics, and literary, film, and cultural studies.
