Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Major Field


Are you as interested in literary studies and linguistics as you are in Romance languages? Would you like to learn more than just one language on your degree?

Try French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese and Romanian! You will go into detail in at least two of these Romance languages during your Bachelor in Romance Studies. You will acquire and improve not only your language skills but also learn how to analyze, describe and reflect on language and literature.

Your studies will introduce you to the complexity of the Romance-based cultural and linguistic area and its literature. The Bachelor degree program prepares you for a working environment which calls for language skills, intercultural abilities and a critical spirit.

The major field program in Romance Studies focuses on the language and culture of the areas in and outside of Europe where Romance languages are spoken (i.e., French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, etc.). Students choose to specialize in two of these Romance languages. Besides learning the languages, they also receive training in the literature, culture, and geography of the countries in which they are spoken. In addition, students learn practical skills such as methods of information collection, enabling them to prepare their own oral presentations and research papers and communicate them in an understandable and effective form using modern technical aids (e.g., PowerPoint).

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
