French and German (Integrated Masters in Languages)
University of Southampton
French and German (Integrated Masters in Languages)
Course Summary
This Integrated Masters in Languages (MLang) leads to a full masters award and offers you the same choice and flexibility as the BA programmes, including a full year abroad. It also has the same funding options.
Combining French and German gives you the opportunity of studying two neighbouring European cultures and their hugely important languages and gain real insight into the cultures and societies of the larger French and German speaking worlds, sharpening your understanding of their commonalities and differences. Combined honours offer the same quality and flexibility as our single honours programmes. In year one, you will study compulsory language modules and a range of option modules. In your second and fourth years, you will develop your practical language skills and choose options according to your interests. You will spend year three in a country where one of your chosen languages is spoken. Modern languages and linguistics at Southampton is ranked fifth in the UK for the quality of our research (REF 2014). Teaching and learning is supported by three research centres, Transnational Studies, Global Englishes and Applied Language Research.
Course Details - Modules
Optional modules include: Sex, gender and desire in French literature; Flaubert’s France; An ambivalent asylum; Contemporary urban France; France and Algeria; Exploring French linguistics; Metropolitan cultures: Vienna and Berlin; Media perspectives on post-1968 Germany; Ethnography for language learners; Minorities and migrants: exploring multicultural Germany; Language and society in the German-speaking world.
Course Details – Assessment Method
The first two years of the programme run alongside the equivalent BA pathways, although, in your second year, you will take a separate module preparing you for academic study on your year abroad. During your third year, you will study at one of Southampton's partner institutions abroad and will also take a number of online courses from Southampton. We strongly recommend that you take a three-month work or study placement in a second country if you are studying two languages. In your final year, in addition to your language module/s, you can choose from a range of masters modules, including specialist modules in translating and interpreting, language education, and transnational studies. At the end of the year, you will complete a research dissertation guided and supported by your academic supervisor.
