Master in Modern Languages and Literatures : General [120.0]

AnnéesTravail de fin d'étude


Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

1. At the end of his studies, regardless of the focus chosen, the student will have developed high level communication skills in the two Germanic languages studied.
These skills are classed at European level as belonging to a 'proficient user' .
In concrete terms, the student will be able to :
• Participate with ease in interactive communication relating to social, professional and academic life;
• Express himself in writing on complex subjects in a clear, well-structured way, master the academic vocabulary and the organisational and cohesive skills in discourse;
• Understand without difficulty complex presentations in foreign languages, even if they are made in a language which departs somewhat from 'standard' language;
• Understand a large range of long, demanding texts, as well as grasp the detail of implicit meaning and academic arguments.

2. Depending on the focus chosen, the student will also have developed :
• In-depth literary and/or linguistic skills in the Germanic languages. This research focus prepares students who so wish for literary, linguistic or didactical research;
• Specific professional skills leading to possible employment in the private sector (professional focus in languages for business communication);
• Teaching skills in both Germanic languages studied (and the title 'agrégé de l’enseignement secondaire supérieur') (teaching focus).

The student will also have acquired the basics allowing him, if he so wishes and with some variation depending on the course chosen (Cf infra), to start doctoral research.

Retour en début de pagePositioning of the programme

Other accessible masters :
at the end of the master 120, each focus in the Master in Modern Languages and Literatures : General can be obtained in a new year of 30 credits only.

Accessible doctoral training :
- 'École doctorale en Langues et lettres';

Admission
Student must hold a first level university degree.

Provide proof of a sufficient level in French (B1 of the European Framework of Reference

Student must have developed, in the Germanic and Romance languages that he wishes to include in his programme :
- passive communicative skills (oral and written) and active communicative skills (oral and written) equal to level « B2+ » (‘high advanced level) of the Common European Framework of References;
- linguistic skills (the study of grammar and its structures);
- literary skills (history of literature, analysis and interpretation of literary texts);
- broad cultural skills (the study of the 'civilisation' of the countries where the two Germanic languages are spoken: historical data and contemporary reality).

If the student does not demonstrate the passive and productive communicative skills, he must pass a level test organised by the programme committee.

In the absence of courses providing basic training in one of the three other skills (linguistic, literary or cultural) in his previous course of study, prerequisites will be added to the student's masters programme (without exceeding a total of 15 credits).

In the absence of courses providing training in linguistic and/or literary and cultural skills, access to the master is subject to the student passing the Preparotory Year for Master in Modern Languages and Literatures: General [55.0] 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 on the choice of languages studied :
The Master in Modern Languages and Literatures : General involves the pursuit of the study of the Germanic language and the Romance language included in the bachelor programme, whether they were studied as a major or minor.

Examples :
- A Bachelor in Modern Languages and Literatures: German, Dutch and English (Dutch-English), who has taken the minor in a second German language (Minor in Dutch Studies [30.0], Minor in English Studies [30.0] or the Minor in German Studies [30.0]) includes in his master programme one of the two Germanic languages and the Romance language studied during the first level.
- A Bachelor in Modern Languages and Literatures: German, Dutch and English (Dutch-English), who has taken the Minor in Italian Studies [30.0] includes in his masters programme one of the Germanic languages studied during the first level and a Romance language studied as the minor.
- A Bachelor in French and Romance Languages and Literatures : General who has taken a minor in Germanic language includes in his masters programme one of the Romance languages studied in the first level (Italian, Spanish or French) and the Germanic language studied as the minor.

Teaching method

Retour en début de pageStrong points of the pedagogical approach

The study paths offered by the various focuses and options (sometimes tagged) give the student more and more opportunities to 'take charge of his training' as well as his gradual choices in working life.
The different fields of study in the programme provide a coherent set of courses.
As for interdisciplinary, the student can include in his programme courses from other disciplines (optional). Some focuses, like some course modules: création littéraire, français langue étrangère, are clearly cross-disciplinary (library studies, 'communication multilingue en entreprise', etc). In the end, the student's choice (geared towards the programme's interdisciplinary courses) will hold sway.

A second strong point is the variety of teaching strategies (including e-learning) : the use of multimedia for courses in foreign languages, the use of the possibilities offered by Icampus, and the balance between more 'lecture-based teaching and one-to-one student guidance..

Also noteworthy are the different learning situation: individual and group work, seminars and tutorials for the dissertation.

Retour en début de pageEvaluation

There are many types of evaluation: evaluation of work and seminars and/or oral and written exams.
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.



Mobility and/or international links
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 or abroad and or undertake internships in Belgium or abroad (as part of their end of study dissertation and/or focus).

For example :
- Universidad de Salamanca;
- Università degli studi di Palermo;
- Rijksuniversiteit Leiden;
- Dublin University, Trinity College.
