At the end of his studies, the student will have developed communication skills in the two languages studied (one Germanic language and one Romance language) which will have been part of his 60 credit master programme. These skills are classed at European level as belonging to a 'proficient user'.
Moreover, the student will have been given an introduction to a linguistic or literary approach in the linguistic fields selected.

The programme is made up of :
♦ core courses (45 credits), made up of :
- 30 language course credits (15 credits per language studied);
- 15 credits for the end of study work;
♦ and optional courses (15 credits) to be spread equally between linguistics and literature and the languages studied.

Accessible master :
Master [120] in Modern Languages and Literatures : General [120.0] Direct access to the second year of the master; training includes the Dissertation and the Dissertation seminar (30 credits), one focus and the possible further trainings (maximum 30 credits).

Links to the Teacher Training Certificate (upper secondary education) :
at the end of the Master 60 in Modern Languages and Literatures : General, the student has access to the Teacher Training Certificate (upper secondary education) - Modern Languages and Literatures : General [30.0].

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 he wishes to include in his programme :
– passive communicative skills (oral and written) and active communicative skills (oral and written) at level « B2+ » (‘vantage') in the Common European Framework of Reference;
– linguistic skills (the study of grammar and its structures);
– literary skills (history of literature, the analysis and interpretation of literary texts);
– broad cultural skills (the study of the "civilisation" of the countries where the two languages studies are spoken: historical data and contemporary reality).

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

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

In the absence of courses in the 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 studies in the Germanic and Romance languages included in the bachelor programme, whether they were studied as a major or minor.

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

The different pathways give the student the possibility to direct his training towards his skills and interests and thus acquire relative autonomy in his training. The programme's different areas of study offer a set of coherent, high-quality classes.
♠ Modalities which promote interdisciplinary: in the master 60, it is the student's choice (geared towards literature, linguistics and skills classes) which holds sway.
♠ Variety of teaching strategies (including e-learning) : use of multimedia for the study of Germanic and Romance languages.
♠ Diversity of learning situations: individual and group work, seminars and lectures ; tutorial for end of study work (TFE).

There are many types of evaluation: evaluation of work and seminars and/or oral and written exams.
The student must write his masters Individual final project 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.

No Erasmus exchange planned in the master 60.
Some Spanish or Italian courses can be taken at KULeuven as part of the optional courses.
