Modern Languages (MA)

About the programme

The specialisation in Modern Languages transforms you into an expert on one or more of the languages that the programme offers. You will explore its structure, acquisition and history.

The courses that you will follow depend on the language of your choice. At the start of the programme, you will choose courses related to your language theme:

  • Chinese Language and Linguistics
  • English Language and Linguistics
  • French Language and Linguistics
  • German Language and Linguistics
  • Italian Language and Linguistics

These courses are taught in the target language (except for Chinese, which is taught in English) and have specific language-level entry requirements.

Generally, the study programme includes core courses related to your language theme, electives including the possibility of doing an internship, and the final Master's thesis.
