Applications from abroad

Those who study Dutch at University of Oldenburg first learn the language: in small courses, with experienced and motivated lecturers, all of whom are native speakers. The language training is part of a clear, tightly organized first year of study, which in addition to the two linguistics and literary studies introductions also offers a cultural history seminar on the Netherlands and Flanders as well as an introduction to teaching the Dutch language. Subsequently, an individual focus is possible, literary and linguistics are the core areas, possibly supplemented by didactic teaching questions.

The bachelor's programme in Dutch Studies at the University of Oldenburg is a three year, practically-oriented course of studies that does not lose sight real world applications for course content. Knowledge of literature studies, culture, and history qualifies graduates for careers in publishing (editing, translation, press relations), journalism (newspapers, radio, television), public relations, and commercial continuing education. Furthermore, knowledge of cultural differences (business cultures and intercultural communication) is itself a worthwhile competence, qualifying graduates to work in the area of German-Dutch cooperation or in internationally oriented business consulting. In combination with subjects such as social studies and English, Dutch Studies offers good preparation for work in international organisations, many of which require English and an additional foreign language.
Students who intend to become teachers increase their chances of landing a good job with Dutch, as interest in Dutch as a school subject is on the increase. Students who wish to continue their studies (for example at the doctoral level) benefit from intensive technical and organisational assistance (research projects and stipends).

If students are interested in a non-school-related goal, more information can be found at the professional field of Foreign Languages Philology (in German).
