"‘One of the important aspects of studying German language and literature is student exchange, where students are given access to other academic programs in German-speaking areas,’ said the head of the Department of German Language and Literature at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Mostar, Professor Ivica Petrović, for Radio Herceg-Bosna.

He explained how students decide on an exchange for one semester or the entire academic year, and that they mostly go to universities in Germany and Austria. ‘There is a possibility for students participating in exchange programs to engage in various research projects and to write their final or master's thesis. This international aspect of studying is important for personal and professional development, as well as for job searching, as employers highly value the international experience gained during the exchange.’

He mentioned that the German language and literature program can be studied as a single or double major in combination with other double major study programs at the Faculty of Humanities. ‘Undergraduate students acquire knowledge of contemporary linguistic disciplines, the history of German literature, and similar subjects, while graduate studies focus on teaching orientation.’

Head Professor Petrović said that those who are still undecided about what to enroll in are welcome to attend a few lectures at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Mostar, to gain insight into what is taught in the German language and literature program.

More information about the program can be found on the website.
