Degree programmes in Romance studies consider Romance languages, literature and cultures. The study of French focusses more particularly, on languages, literature and cultures in the French-speaking world.


To prepare students for a teaching career, the Master of Education in French combines fundamental specialised knowledge in the areas of French literature, linguistics, and cultural studies with instruction in the specialised didactics of these subjects. 


The guiding principle behind this intertwining of specialised knowledge and specialised didactics is the conviction that the acquisition of scholarly knowledge and skills is essential for the development of the personal characteristics required of a teacher. The specialised didactics component of the degree programme focusses on the classroom-oriented processing of the specialised knowledge obtained in the Master of Education degree programme. 


This instruction is complemented by language practice, the objective of which is the expansion of active and passive language skills obtained during the Bachelor’s degree in French with the teaching degree option.
