Master Languages and Societies
One specialization, two career paths
The Languages and Societies master's degree program brings together two courses:
- Intercultural Communication, Social Organizations and New Media (CICOM)
- Communication for Development (C4D)
These courses aim to train graduates who will be able to identify, analyze and address a problem in various professional fields touching on the field of interculturality (traditional and digital communication, public relations, events...). They are characterized, on the whole, by strengthened links with the socio-professional world, as well as advanced mastery of one or more foreign languages.
A compulsory internship each year
Students must complete a compulsory internship in M1 and M2, in France or abroad. Lasting 3 to 4 months in M1, and 6 months in M2, this internship leads them to put into practice the theoretical and linguistic knowledge acquired during the current academic year, and enables them to take their first steps in the professional sector of their choice.
