ECTS

To obtain the graduate degree, at least 120 ECTS must be acquired. Each exam is awarded a given number of ECTS, the same for all students and a grade (out of 30) that varies according to the level of preparation.

Study plan

The graduate degree programme in Linguistic Sciences is divided into a single curriculum: Applied linguistic sciences

The languages offered in the graduate degree programme are:

• Arabic
• Chinese (the Chinese language is offered to students of all profiles of the graduate degree in Linguistic Sciences as long as they have selected this language during the undergraduate degree programme)
• French
• English
• Russian
• Spanish
• German

The study plan is, in principle, organized on an epistemological core, which illustrates the characteristics of the discipline, and on the analysis of concrete application cases.

Specialisation ECTS will be acquired by students according to profiles.

The study plan includes the acquisition of:

• 40 ECTS of Modern Languages
• 4 ECTS of Educational Activities in the field of Semiotics, Linguistics and Computer Science
• 12 ECTS of educational activities in the field of economic-legal, political, social and communication sciences
