LLCER bachelor's degree with regional path
In the first year (L1), students begin to study a language that will form the basis of their Bachelor's degree. In the second year (L2), students determine the direction they wish to take with their degree, choosing between two types of path: a regional path (languages, literatures and civilizations) or a professional path, continuing the study of the language begun in L1.
Please note, for Chinese, Arabic and Russian, beginners must enroll in the introductory year to then gain access to the first year of the bachelor's degree. In these languages, access to L1 is reserved for students who have achieved a level equivalent to LV1 in secondary school. Advanced beginners are invited to follow a one-year preparatory course leading to an introductory diploma. Orientation tests are available here.
For Chinese, students without an introductory diploma who wish to enroll directly in L1 are invited to take the orientation tests, which will enable them to take stock of their written and spoken language skills, and assess their ability to profitably follow L1 teaching. Please refer to the Method of Chinese, first level (l'Asiathèque), the course material for the introductory year, for a more accurate assessment of the language skills required at the start of L1.
This test is not, however, necessary for baccalaureate holders from general streams who have taken Chinese LV1 or LV2 and obtained a mark equal to or above 14 in the baccalauréat.
