The programme of study (blocks 1, 2 and 3) set out below is the result of the latest reform of the bachelor's degree in Ancient and Modern Languages and Literatures, and concerns students enrolling for the first time in September 2024 in the 1st year of the bachelor's degree in Ancient and Modern Languages and Literatures.
Students enrolled in the 1st year of the bachelor's degree during the 2023-2024 academic year who have not acquired all the credits in their annual programme will follow a programme adapted by the jury on the basis of the credits acquired.
Students who began their degree course before September 2024 will follow the old programme, but with content adjustments following the reform. The adapted programme for these students will be developed on the basis of the teaching units already taken and passed.

Option in culture and creation
The aim of this option is to provide students with the means to understand how a cultural object is conceived and produced (a work of art, a literary text, a performance, a film, an opera, etc.), and to enable them to discuss culture and the arts beyond simple statements like 'I like' or 'I don't like.' The goal is not to make them specialists in a specific cultural domain but to foster a nuanced appreciation and critical engagement. 10 credits per annual block:

Option in Environmental humanities
Our societies are currently undergoing an unprecedented ecological and social crisis. This option aims to provide tools for understanding environmental issues with a focus on two dimensions. Firstly, it involves developing a critical analysis of discourses and practices that involve paradigms at the root of current problems. This critical analysis will draw on what is traditionally referred to as the humanities (philosophy, arts, literature, history). Secondly, it aims to highlight the power of creation in the study of literary and artistic expressions. These are capable of addressing the representational deficit that affects the perception of the crises we are facing and of opening up alternatives.

Option in gender studies
On a reflexive level, gender studies aim to deconstruct prejudices and social constructions that stigmatize men and women and condition their relationships. They strive to move beyond false universalisms and partial viewpoints that go unnoticed.
On a practical level, gender studies highlight the mechanisms that translate differences into hierarchy and thus promote equality between women and men. To introduce this critical perspective, the option in gender studies provides interdisciplinary and interfaculty training. 10 credits per annual block:
Students going on an Erasmus trip in first quarter of Block 3 are encouraged to take LSPED1215 and LDROI1525, otherwise LPOLS1233 and LPSP1322.
