Course Content

Year 1 is a year of consolidation and upgrading. Emphasis is placed on gaining a good command of the basics: written and oral communication, written and aural comprehension, acquisition of a base of essential knowledge in grammar, phonology, civilization and literature (hence the priority given to tutorials (TDs)).

This work is extended in the second and third years with a deepening and diversification of knowledge of the facts about civilization and an introduction to translation techniques and linguistics. The third year allows students to focus on potential future research paths or to prepare themselves for vocational master’s degrees.

These pathways, although professionally oriented, remain sufficiently open to allow students to consider a change of pathway even after graduation.
