"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." - Nelson Mandela Studying Germanic languages and literature offers you much more than mastering communication in Dutch, English or German. It also offers you a "journey" through the linguistic, literary, cultural, socio-political and media landscapes of Dutch-, English- or German-speaking countries, and enables you to acquire intercultural skills in high demand on the Belgian and international job markets.

Here you will find study regulations, codes of conduct, recommendations, and specific information.

Studying English: "Why, do I already speak it?" Is it true that everyone speaks English? Yes and no. Certainly, English is everywhere and inescapable, with at least two billion speakers worldwide, the majority of whom do not have it as their mother tongue. As the international lingua franca par excellence, English no longer belongs particularly to the English, but serves as a tool for intercultural communication on a global scale. However, when you decide to study English at university, it's because you want to go beyond the simple tool of communication - useful, ubiquitous, but not necessarily loved - to discover the historical, linguistic and cultural nuances that arouse the passion of Anglophiles. Studying English at the University of Namur also means listening to accents from all over the world, immersing yourself in the history of cultures and language, opening up to other worlds imagined through literary productions, learning to appreciate and analyze films, sketches, Internet memes and many other artistic productions... all the while working to make progress in mastering the language in both written and spoken form. The teachers and researchers in the English Unit who accompany you in your studies have, in their day-to-day work, a wealth of international experience in the world of English studies. In this way, your teachers enrich their courses and exercises with new perspectives, methods and ideas emerging from the vast world of scientific research. And some of you will take the step into the international arena yourselves in the third year of undergraduate study, by going away for a semester on an Erasmus trip to Canterbury or Cork, for example! If this appeals to you, come and discover our programs and our team, and take your place in the driver's seat of your apprenticeship! See you soon?

As a language learner, and a fortiori of English, in the 21st century, we're spoiled: we can create a kind of "immersion" at home and tailored to us by listening to target-language radio channels on the internet every day, watching series and films in their original version on Netflix or on TV, reading articles about anything that interests us online, or communicating with people all over the world on social networks. It's a good start, but to get regular feedback, improve, deepen our knowledge, and open up to sometimes little-known cultural horizons, we need guidance provided by pros. As the poet D.J. Enright wrote, "It takes a long time to learn a new language; / But one almost gets there in the end". There are no short cuts, but we can get you on the right track! So, in the Germanic Languages and Literatures program at UNamur, we organize lots of course-related exercises in small groups, encouraging interactivity and dialogue, with a particular emphasis on conversation. We also try to build a cultural space of our own on our "fifth floor", where our department is located. Examples for English include:sessions devoted to the screening of English-language films in Block 1 and Block 2;a monthly "book club", in a convivial atmosphere (teatime!), in Block 2; workshops and didactic projects linked to the various courses, such as the series of presentations around "keywords and icons of Anglophone cultures"; visits to exhibitions or evenings at the cinema; theatrical performances; our traditional "Christmas party"; didactic trips every two or three years, to London, Edinburgh or elsewhere still. To give you an initial idea of the course content, take a look at the first-year course descriptions... ... in the 1st term: English Language Proficiency History of English Literature and Civilization I ... in 2nd trimester: English Linguistics Analysis of English-language literary texts I For the complete program in Germanic languages and literatures, see this page.
