Admission

1. Student must hold a first level university degree.

2. Student must supply evidence that he has achieved, in both languages which he wishes to include in his masters programme, passive communicative skills (listening and reading comprehension) of level« B1+ » ('independent user' level ) of the Common European Framework of Reference.

In the absence of language courses of a level equivalent to level ‘B1+’ in his previous course of study, the student must pass a level test based on passive communicative knowledge. This test is organised by the programme committee; two sessions are planned : the first at the end of August and the second in September, before the start of the academic year. Pour plus de renseignements : ou .
Should the student fail the level test in one of the two languages, prerequisites will be added to his masters programme (without exceeding a total of 15 credits). This will automatically lead to the master courses in this language being put back to the second year of the master.
Should the student fail the level test in both languages, access to the master is subject to the student passing an 'Année d'études préparatoire au master en communication multilingue [48.0]' (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
The master en communication multilingue involves :
- the pursuit of studies in the two languages included in the bachelor programme (two Germanic languages or one Germanic language and French), whether these languages were studied as a major or minor Mineure en études allemandes [30.0] - Mineure en études néerlandaises [30.0] - Mineure en études anglaises [30.0] - Mineure en études françaises [30.0])
OR
- the student must pass a language test proving sufficient knowledge of the two languages he wishes to include on his masters programme.
Examples :
- A bachelor in 'langues et littératures modernes, orientation germaniques (allemand-anglais)', who has taken the minor in the third Germanic language (Dutch), includes in his masters programme two of the three Germanic languages studied in the first level.
- A bachelor in 'langues et littératures modernes, orientation générale (langue germanique + espagnol ou italien)', who has taken a minor in a second Germanic language includes in his masters programme the two Germanic languages studied in the first level.
- A bachelor in 'information et communication' who has obtained, in his bachelor, results judged sufficient in one of the two Germanic languages and who has passed the level test in a second Germanic language includes in his masters programme the two Germanic languages in question.
