The bachelor's degree in modern languages and literature: German, Dutch and English, includes a total of 180 credits divided into three years (3 x 60 credits).
English and Dutch
You will begin an in-depth study of the many facets of these two languages during your bachelor's degree in modern languages and literature: German, Dutch and English. Becoming a Germanist means learning, from the perspective of the linguist, past and present forms of the chosen languages as well as their systemic functioning; Germanists also practise analysing literary texts, and study literary history and the cultures of the chosen languages. To achieve comprehensive knowledge of the subject, you will complement your theoretical reflection with intensive practice of the languages: writing various texts, exercises based on audiovisual media (films, documentaries, etc.), discussion of various topics, role-playing, introduction to translation, etc.
Erasmus programme
In your third year, you will leave Saint-Louis for the first four months of the year within the framework of the Erasmus programme to study at an English- or Dutch-language university. You may choose Flanders as your destination if you wish. You will experience full immersion in a specific linguistic and cultural environment.
