Description
The Master’s in French as a Foreign Language comprises theory-based, methodology-based and applied course units. It is based on experience of the professional context (via internships). The Master’s programme in French as a Foreign Language aims at students’ direct entry into employment. After a first non-specialised year, students may choose between two subject pathways in the second year.

If they wish, students may continue their higher education by pursuing doctoral studies.
