Bachelor in Licence - Lettres

Licence — Lettres at Université de Limoges is a three-year bachelor programme delivered in French, beginning in September in Limoges, France, at yearly tuition of 178 EUR. Literary studies at university level covers the reading, analysis, and interpretation of texts across periods, genres, and traditions. Students study French literature from the medieval period to the contemporary era, alongside literary theory, stylistics, rhetoric, and the history of ideas. Courses may also address comparative literature, world literatures, and the relationships between literary texts and their historical and cultural contexts. Writing seminars develop critical and creative expression. The field trains students in close reading, argumentation, and sustained analytical writing, skills that translate into a wide range of professional contexts. Limoges is a university city with a humanities faculty embedded in a mid-sized regional urban environment. Graduates work in education, publishing, journalism, cultural administration, communication, and social services, and many continue to master's programmes in literature, teaching, or creative writing. Instruction is in French.
