At the end of the second level, the student will have undertaken training in the two classical languages (core courses: 60 credits), whilst benefiting from a more thorough specialisation in Greek or Latin (option A: 15 credits) or in a connected field to 'science of antiquity' (option B: 15 credits).

Linguistically, the course focuses on the scientific study of the history of classical languages and how they work, without forgetting the assiduous practice of translation work, thematic work and cursive reading. The authors' commentary includes all of the tools used in philological analysis (grammar, textual criticism and the study of sources, survival ), but also modern literary analysis methods (intertextuality, narratology).

The programme provides a choice between several types of focus (30 credits): research focus ; teaching focus (with extra training : option B); professional focus in library studies (with extra training : option B) and in natural language processing(with extra training : option B); professional focuses in Greek culture / Latin culture help the student acquire expertise in the changes in classical languages and civilisations, from the late antiquity to modern times.

The programme is made up of :
 ♦ core courses (60 credits), made up of :
- 30 course credits in Greek and Latin language and literature;
- 28 dissertation credits and 2 credits for the accompanying seminar;
 ♦ one focus (30 credits);
 ♦ two options of 15 credits, at least one from list A.

Further Studies
at the end of the master 120, each focus in the Master in Ancient Languages and Literature: Classics, can be obtained in a new year of 30 credits only.

Accessible doctoral training :
'Ecole Doctorale en Langues et Lettres'

1° Student must hold a first level university degree.

2° Student must prove skills in the following subjects :
⇒ Introduction aux études classiques;
⇒ Civilisations de l’antiquité (philosophie, histoire et archéologie);
⇒ Langue et littérature grecques;
⇒ Langue et littérature latines;

⇒ Théorie linguistique et littéraire;
⇒ Langues et littératures modernes.

If the student does not have enough training in one or several of these subjects, prerequisites will be added to the masters programme (maximum 15 credits).

If the total number of prerequisites exceeds 15 credits, access to the master is subject to the student passing an additional year, 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.

The different pathways offered in the programme (focuses and many options) give the student the chance to gear his training towards his skills and interests and thus acquire relative autonomy in his training. The different modules on the programme offer a coherent set of courses.

Most courses on the programme implement interactive pedagogy, inspired by the project 'gérer sa formation' or 'manage your training' (student autonomy guaranteed thanks to new ICT resources , e-learning, teaching teams, practice of oral and written communication, etc). The programme familiarises the student will new resources and methods.

Written and oral exams measure knowledge acquired as well as the student's know-how and communication skills. Some subjects, geared towards the development of research skills and personal criticism, are the subject of presentations and discussions spread across the year (permanent evaluation).

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.

If the Erasmus exchanges normally take part in the 3rd year of the bachelor, students on the master 120 can take 30 credits in other university institutions in Belgium (courses in Greek or Latin langauge and literature can be borrowed from the KULeuven programme, in line with the UCL-KULeuven agreement) or abroad and/or undertake internships in Belgium or abroad (as part of their end of study dissertation and/or focus).

For example :

• Università degli studi di Bologna;
• Universidad de Oviedo;
• Université de Genève.
