国外一年。无论在文化上还是商业上，德语都是一种极为重要的语言。在欧洲，说英语的人多于英语或法语。在世界范围内，它是互联网上使用最广泛的第三种语言（仅次于英语和日语），并且在东欧经常被用作第二语言，在欧洲它是跨国际交流的一种手段。流利的德语，再加上德语世界的政治和文化发展知识，为非洲大陆的许多地区提供了就业机会。在肯特，我们专注于教授当今德语世界的语言，文学和文化，并探索其文学和社会历史。
Both culturally and commercially, German is an extremely important language. Within Europe, it is spoken by more people than English or French. Worldwide, it is the third most widely used language on the internet (after English and Japanese), and it is frequently used as a second language in Eastern Europe, where it serves as a means of communication across international boundaries.Fluency in the German language, combined with knowledge of political and cultural developments in the German-speaking world, opens up career opportunities in many parts of the continent. At Kent, we specialise in teaching the language, literature and culture of the German-speaking world of today, as well as in exploring its literary and social history.Along with the other European languages taught at Kent, German has state-of-the art computing and audio-visual facilities, and benefits from having a language lector sponsored by the Austrian Exchange Service and native speaker language assistants from Germany. Many classes are taught in German, and German may be studied at Kent either post-A level or ‘ab inito' (from beginners) level.<br><br>Recent graduates have gone into careers such as teaching German, teaching EFL, translation, accountancy, law, customs, finance, publishing, journalism and tourism. The ability to speak another European language is a key asset in the global employment market, and many employers view a graduate with overseas study experience as significantly more employable.
