Anyone who can speak German can easily communicate with approximately 100 million people in their own language, for German is not only spoken in Germany, but also in other parts of Europe, including Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy, Eastern Belgium and Eastern France. The German curriculum at Manchester Colleges encourages students to master the oral and written language skills, as well as understand the culture of the German people.

Manchester offers a minor in German and the opportunity to study for a semester or a year in Germany for students who want to enhance their success in the job market with the ability to communicate in a second language. Many American and German companies recruit workers with language qualifications.
