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.
