Course Content

The themes specific to this pathway are structured around a core syllabus delivered in a block of fundamental modules and specialized teaching units which are broken down into seminars. Modules are shared at domain level (The Americas Master’s Degree, UEL of the second modern language shared for all Master’s degrees), at specialization level (documentary methodology, professionalization units) and at pathway level (core syllabus of fundamental disciplinary teaching). The specialization is divided into three areas (theoretical, methodological and applied) and includes non-compulsory internships, the writing of at least one TER and teaching in a modern foreign language. It is adapted to the needs of people returning to studies. In M2, the focus is on professionalization through shared modules at specialization level, on specialization through the specialization teaching units (UESs) and on research with an entire semester given over to preparation of the dissertation.
