Program details

Overview

The specialised Letters Master adds a 30-ECTS specialisation programme to the basic Master in Letters. Designed across disciplines, the specialisation deepens knowledge in one field and either introduces students to university research or provides professional experience, depending on the option. Students choose their main discipline at the end of the first year. Students decide whether to aim for the 90-credit Master in Letters or the specialised Master totalling 120 ECTS. The specialisation courses sit on top of the core curriculum of the discipline studied. Teaching is in French or the discipline's language, C1 recommended.
