Double Degree in English Studies and Applied Francophone Studies

Curriculum Structure

The proposed dual degree does not entail the development of a new curriculum, but rather a specific curricular path that would lead to the completion of the Bachelor's Degrees in English Studies and Applied Francophone Studies. Nor does it entail any modification to the certified reports for both degrees. Students who complete the joint curricular path will earn the degrees of Bachelor's Degree in English Studies and Bachelor's Degree in Applied Francophone Studies. Therefore, the proposed approach aims to guarantee accreditation of compliance with all the requirements established individually for each of the degrees. Completion of both degrees implies the acquisition of the competencies of both degrees.

The dual degree curriculum is organized into five academic years with a total of 360 credits, including the final project projects for both degrees. A summary of the curriculum is presented below:
