The main focus of the master’s degree is the French as a language and as a medium of cultures and literatures in Europe, in francophone countries in Africa (West and Central Africa, Maghreb, Indian Ocean) and America (USA, Canada and the Caribbean). The students will also focus on either linguistics or literary studies and specialize in North American or African Francophonie. Thus, this program is characterized by the following points: structured structure and well-coordinated courses, French as the language of instruction, individual focus on regions (Africa, America), small study groups and individual support, an internship or a semester abroad in the focus region, numerous collaborations with European and non-European universities.
