Preparotory Year for Master in Ancient Languages and Literatures: Oriental Studies [47.0] - HORI1PM

The preparatory year provides students with some basic knowledge and skills in oriental philology to help them sucessfully follow the Master [60] of arts in Modern Languages and Literatures : Oriental Studies [60.0] or the Master [120] of arts in Ancient Languages and Literatures: Oriental Studies [120.0] .

The programme includes courses aimed at developing  :

• Linguistic skills (study of two ancient oriental languages, with the possible addition of a modern oriental language) ;
• Literary skills (study of the history of literature, analysis and understanding of literary texts).

Depending on the nature of the course and the teaching activities in question, the evaluation will take different forms. Some courses will involve oral and/or written evaluations (held during one of the three exam sessions), whilst the evaluation of seminars will involve more substantial participation on the part of the student as well as assessment of individual course work. Those exams relating to courses on communication skills will evaluate the student's level, i.e. the practical use of the language in relevant situations.
