• Academic supervisor : Lambert ISEBAERT
• Secretary : Julie THIRIONET       

Useful contacts

• Exam jury :
  - president : Paul DEPROOST
  - secretary : Pierre PIRET

The majority of courses on this programme use interactive teaching methods, inspired by the principles of the project 'gérer sa formation' or 'managing 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 with new resources and methods in the field of classical and Romance studies. The options programme foresees training in other disciplines, such as history and archeology.

Written and oral exams aim to test both knowledge acquired as well as the student's know-how and communication skills. Some subjects, geared towards helping the student develop skills in research and personal criticism, are the subject of presentations and discussions spread over the year (permanent assessment).

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 Erasmus exchanges normally take place during the 3rd year of the bachelor, students on the master 120 can take 30 credits in other universities in Belgium (course in Latin language and literature can be borrowed from the KULeuven programme, in application of the UCL-KULeuven agreement) or abroad and/or undertake internships in Belgium or abroad (for the end of study dissertation and/or focus).

For example :

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