1° Student must hold a first level university degree.
2° Provide proof of a sufficient level in French (B1 of the European Framework of Reference )
3° 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.
