Should the student fail the level test in one of the two languages, prerequisites will be added to his masters programme (without exceeding a total of 15 credits). This will automatically lead to the master courses in this language being put back to the second year of the master.
Should the student fail the level test in both languages, access to the master is subject to the student passing an 'Preparotory year for Master in Multilingual Communication [48.0]' the programme of which is established based on the student's file.
