German is an excellent language in combination with many other fields: Business, computer programming, international law & politics, sciences (especially energy, renewable energy, bio-tech), history, art, music, literature, philosophy and more!

Find out that learning a foreign language has a positive impact on student achievement in other academic areas.

I highly recommend you visit the Goethe Institute's webpage and explore how learning a second language has more employment and academic benefits.
