Master in Modern Languages and Letters : German, Dutch and English

The programme aims to develop excellent communication skills in foreign languages by placing them in their scientific and cultural context. The Master in Germanic Languages and Letters gives graduates the ability to carry out a wide range of tasks independently, in a multilingual professional environment (trilingual or quadrilingual). Students also acquire the expertise necessary to contribute to the scientific development of their field. Last but not least, they will be able to take a scientific approach when teaching the languages and culture of the regions they have studied.

Students in this Master programme may study a third language (Spanish, Italian, Greek, Polish, Czech, Russian, Slovene, Portuguese, Arabic, or Turkish).

They also gain extensive skills that enable them to contribute to the scientific development of their field, while literature courses provide an opportunity to learn about cultures that are not covered in other programmes (Austria, U.S. and Canada, and ex-colonies). As a multicultural city, Brussels is an ideal environment in which to learn about languages and cultures. In addition, the close collaboration with nearby VUB allows students to immerse themselves in a Dutch-speaking environment, through frequent contacts with Dutch speakers (lecturers, researchers, and students).
