Teaching method

This is a multidisciplinary degree course which combines the strengths of the Modern Languages Institute and the Germanic Languages and Economics, Social and Political Science faculties. It comprises language courses which are always given in the target language and which focus on spoken and written skills through oral presentations and specialised written exercises. Lectures, business case studies and a three-month internship in a company provide an invaluable opportunity to practice another language and put into practice theoretical concepts learned in the business courses.

A range of methods are used to evaluate students: continuous assessment (course participation and exercises), oral and/or written exams, a thesis written in one of the two major languages chosen, an internship in a company which must be followed by a written report and oral defence. Both the report and the defence should be in the language used during the internship.

The student must write his masters dissertation in one of the two languages in his programme and add a summary in French.

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.
