Low German can be studied as part of the Bachelor’s degree in Low German, Master of Education (Gymnasium) and Master of Education (Hauptschule and Realschule) can be studied, or as additional qualification: Low German Certificate as part of a Bachelor’s degree in German Studies, a master's degree programme in German Studies or a Master of Education for teaching German at grammar schools.
For school pupils, selected modules relating to Low German and/or Sater Frisian are available in the summer semester as part of a Taster programme . For interested members of the public from the region and beyond, we are opening up opportunities as part of the visiting student scheme .
The Low German and Sater Frisian Department at the University of Oldenburg is also a member of the ‘Teaching Low German’ (LeNie) teaching network, which develops and provides inter-university courses for students of Low German at the participating universities, thereby complementing the courses offered at the students’ home universities in terms of both subject matter and methodology, and, not least, promoting early networking and exchange amongst students in the subject.
