Overview

Key features

The Bachelor of European Cultures - French Studies at the University of Luxembourg provides a unique opportunity to combine traditional training in your chosen specialisation with an interdisciplinary reflection on Europe and European cultures.

It is co-organised by the six specialisation tracks of the Bachelor en Cultures Européennes and engages both students and staff in an interdisciplinary reflection about European cultures, their political and intellectual achievements as well as their shortcomings, and the role of modern Europe in the world today. You will also have the option to develop a second disciplinary focus or specialisation in History, Philosophy, English, French, German, or Luxembourgish Linguistics and Literature as part of your common curriculum.

In line with the tradition of Liberal Arts Education, this combination provides both a strong academic specialisation and the ability and flexibility of mind required to leave your comfort zone and engage in multimodal critical thinking and creative problem-solving.

Career

Choosing what to study also influences your career choices. Depending on your plans for the future, a strong specialisation, and sometimes even a second specialisation, are necessary or advised. This would be the case, for instance, if you were thinking of going into teaching.

As a graduate of our programme, you will be qualified to pursue a Master’s degree in English Studies; French Studies, German Studies, Luxembourgish Studies, History or Philosophy
In combination with a Master’s degree, our graduates also meet the legal requirements for teaching careers in Luxembourg.

A strong specialisation may be key to accessing certain types of careers. However, in some professions, the ability to grasp and analyse unfamiliar issues and subjects quickly and productively is a highly valued skill. Our programme’s interdisciplinary outlook and focus on critical thinking, presentation skills, and active engagement with text and language prepares our graduates for careers in the following areas, among many others:

the media, journalism, and related professions
publishing, communication, and public relations
cultural agencies and administrations
