A seminar on songs, on 19th century literature, a course on lexicology, on the art of argumentative writing... these are but a few facets of the programme of Romance studies, which focuses primarily on the French Language and Literature but which also covers Hispanic and Italian domains. The courses in Linguistics develop the mastery of the French language, both oral and written. The courses trace the development of the Romance languages from their Latin origins onwards and explain how they function thanks to our present linguistic knowledge. In the domain of literature, the students acquire basic insight into different literary theories and their application to be able to provide personal in-depth analysis of ancient and modern texts. Learning Italian or Spanish is an integral part of the programme right from the start.

The exams, both oral and written, aim at evaluating the knowledge as well as the know-how and the communication skills of the students. For some courses which focus on the development of communication skills, it takes the form of intermediate evaluations spread over the whole year.

The conditions and requirements for regular admission are specified on the web page "Acess to Studies". http://www.ucl.ac.be/etudes/libres/en/acces.html

Knowledge of Latin is required, but this can be acquired during the bachelor's studies and inititiated during the summer sessions.

The bachelor's degree gives direct access to the corresponding master's in French and Romance Languages and Literature.

Provided he has followed a corresponding Minor and fulfils any possible complemetary prerequisites, the Bachelor in French and Romance Languages and Literature may have access to the master's programme of Modern Languages and Literature and to the master's of Modern and Ancient Languages and Literature (Latin-French).

If he has followed an option (= Minor) in the domain concerned or completed a complementary "bridging" year, the student may also have access to other masters organised by the Faculty of Arts as well as to a series of masters organised by other faculties, if he meets the conditions and prerequisities determined by people in charge of the organisation of the programmes in question.
