Not all of them are but I know German Language Skills always is. There's a certain number you can pick.


Ah cool, I'm just not really that keen on literature. That's why I kinda preferred Aston to my other unis, cause I was told it's more language-orientated. :smile:

Me neither, that's why I picked it :smile: I didn't mind reading before then (I do now, thanks final year) but I don't like studying it so much.

I hate literature if I'm honest, that's why I didn't firm Leeds as there seemed to be so much of it involved, whereas Aston seems to be much more practical and business-orientated with a much better placement year :biggrin:

Do you know if there's any compulsory literature included in the language degrees or is there none at all? :smile:

Yeah I think it is.

We had 1 book to read in 2nd year which got changed the next year to a different one. It was part of German Language Skills.

I was there for 2 years and I thought it was really nice, especially the spacious kitchens. There weren't too many fire alarms though most were at the start of 1st year.

I don't think there is one, it's what you make of it. Everyone goes on about Lakeside being quiet and antisocial but we had loads of people over in first year.
I guess most people are now gonna wanna stay in the New Build.
