The programme for the
Bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages and Literatures has two forms:
- German, Dutch and English (which combines two Germanic languages chosen from German, English and Dutch);
- General (which combines a Romance language with a Germanic one, chosen from either French, Spanish and Italian or German, English and Dutch).
By the end of the Bachelor’s degree course (German, Dutch and English), students will:
- have gained productive and receptive skills, both oral and written, at a more advanced level (Level B2+ of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) in both languages studied;
- have mastered the grammar of the languages they have studied as well as the foundations of linguistics in these languages;
- have acquired literary skills, in literary history as well as the analysis and interpretation of literary texts;
- have gained an understanding of the cultural and contemporary environment of the countries where the languages they have studied are spoken;
- be familiar with producing academic work in linguistics and literature.
Depending on the nature of the course and the teaching methods, the evaluation will take different forms. Some courses will involve oral and/or written evaluations (held during one of the three exam sessions: January – June – August/September), whilst the evaluation of seminars will involve more substantial student participation as well as assessment of individual course work. Evaluation methods will be explained at the beginning of each course.
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.
Teaching methods are evaluated in accordance with the current University regulations (see General regulations concerning examinations 
). Students may also find additional information regarding the evaluation of courses in the course description.
