Master in Modern Languages and Literatures : General

The course aims to develop excellent communication skills in foreign languages by placing them in their scientific and cultural context. The Master in Modern Languages and Letters provides graduates with the ability to carry out a huge range of tasks independently in a multilingual professional environment (trilingual or quadrilingual). They also acquire the necessary expertise to allow them to contribute to the scientific development of this field and, lastly, they will be able to take a scientific approach to teaching the languages and culture of the regions which they have studied.

Students of this Master's course at the ULB can choose from a wide range of languages (English, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Russian). In addition, they can take up a third language (German, Greek, Polish, Czech, Slovene, Portuguese or Turkish).

The literature courses offer the opportunity to get to learn about cultures not in immediate focus (Austria, U.S. and Canada and ex-colonies). As a multicultural city, Brussels offers an ideal context for learning languages and cultures.
