Admission

1. Student must hold a first level university degree.

2. Student must have developed, in the Germanic and Romance languages he wishes to include in his programme :
– passive communicative skills (oral and written) and active communicative skills (oral and written) at level « B2+ » (‘vantage') in the Common European Framework of Reference;
– linguistic skills (the study of grammar and its structures);
– literary skills (history of literature, the analysis and interpretation of literary texts);
– broad cultural skills (the study of the "civilisation" of the countries where the two languages studies are spoken: historical data and contemporary reality).
If the student does not demonstrate the passive and active communicative skills, he must pass a level test organised by the programme committee.
In the absence of courses in one of the three other skills (linguistic, literary or cultural) in his previous studies, prerequisites will be added to the student's masters programme (without exceeding a total of 15 credits).
In the absence of courses in the linguistic and/or literary and cultural skills, access to the master is subject to the student passing the Année d'études préparatoire au master en langues et littératures modernes, orientation générale [56.0] (preparatory year of study), the programme of which is established based on the student's file.

Course equivalences are submitted for approval to the chairman of the jury, the secretary of the jury and the academic faculty secretary.
GENERAL OBSERVATION ON THE CHOICE OF LANGUAGES STUDIED
The master en langues et littératures modernes, orientation générale, involves the pursuit of studies in the Germanic and Romance languages included in the bachelor programme, whether they were studied as a major or minor.
Examples :
- A bachelor in langues et littératures modernes, orientation générale (langue germanique + langue romane) who has taken a minor in a second Germanic language (Mineure en études allemandes [30.0], Mineure en études anglaises [30.0] or the Mineure en études néerlandaises [30.0]) includes in his masters programme one of the two Germanic languages and the Romance language studied during the first level.
- A bachelor in langues et littératures modernes, orientation germaniques (allemand-anglais), who has taken the Mineure en études italiennes [30.0], includes in his masters programme one of the Germanic languages studied during the first level and the Romance language studied during the minor.
- A bachelor in langues et littératures françaises et romanes who has taken a minor in a Germanic language includes in his masters programme one of the Romance languages studied during the first level (Italian, Spanish or French) and the Germanic language studied during the minor.
