General diplomas

 

General Licence Degree in English LLCE (Language and Civilization)

 

General Licence Degree in Spanish LLCE (Language and Civilization)

                                  

Department presentation

                       

In the historic site of Fort Vauban, near the main university library, the Linguistics Department combines English LLCE (Language, Literature and Foreign Civilisation) and Spanish LLCE degrees.

                      

These courses are based on a dual disciplinary approach with a major and a minor subject, meaning that a total of 6 course combinations are available:

 

  • English LLCE degree + minor Spanish
  • English LLCE degree + minor History
  • English LLCE degree + minor Modern Letters

and

  • Spanish LLCE degree + minor English
  • Spanish LLCE degree + minor History
  • Spanish LLCE degree + minor Modern Letters

The pole targets two key professional objectives:

  • Teaching professions
  • Cultural and tourism professions

Open to all baccalaureate holders, these Licence courses offer a wide range of study options. They are integrated into the European higher education requirements thus optimising students? options in terms of future career choices including as part of a longer term educational or professional orientation.

The advantages: small group sizes, close teacher contact and monitoring, programmes that follow the official texts, common objectives.

Two key strengths: development of bisemic thinking (a major cultural advantage); small group sizes (very rare in higher education).

                        

Course objectives

                  

A 3 year bivalent training course: The ?minor? subject serves to enrich the main discipline, thus consolidating future career options and opportunities.

                                 

Explicit preparation for teaching professions:

  • Primary school teachers
  • A wide range of professional career paths:
    Tourism
    Culture
    Modern languages

   

Potential further education towards a Master?s degree in Languages

  • Research Master's degree
  • Vocational Master's degree

                                                                     

Organisation of studies

 


Nîmes university?s Languages-Modern Letters-Human Sciences Pole has deliberately taken a different path to the traditional linear approach that takes students down the path of specialisation right from their entry into higher education.

                    

These courses are designed to offer an open and intellectually enriching approach through their dual disciplinary nature.

                     

Students choose a "major" discipline:

  • English LLCE
  • or Spanish LLCE

                           

With this "major", students are free to choose another complementary discipline, the "minor".

 

English LLCE degree minors are:

  • Spanish or
  • History or
  • Modern Letters

                                               

 

Spanish LLCE degree minors are:

  • English or
  • History or
  • Modern Letters

                                                   

In addition to the main dual subjects, transversal tuition elements including methodology, applied information technology, a non-specialist modern language... offer a rich tuition complement.

The aims of this double training course: Two recognised Licence degrees:

  • bearing the nationally recognised title of "LLCE English" or "LLCE Spanish".

                                                    

A wide and complete knowledge base:

  • in each discipline, the general requirements are complementary and provide a foundation for future, more specialised tuition

                        

Complementary methods:

  • studying source texts, bibliographies, advanced methodologies in two different disciplines encourages an open minded approach while developing specialised understanding.

                                  

Complementary skills:

  • greater oral skills, a high level of written expression, a rich general knowledge.

Strong specialisation:

  • skills development (dissertation, text commentary, oral presentations) through group work in small group sizes to optimise each individual?s chances of success.


              

The result

           

A very demanding but also highly recognised diploma, very much geared to being the start of a student's future rather then end of their education. Graduates can aim for competitive entry examinations for teaching professions or a vast range of career options made available by this degree.
