DOUBLE LICENTIATE IN PHILOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION
What the Program consists
of
The curriculum for this double licentiate can be completed in six years of
corresponding studies in both licentiates.
How it works
If one follows the recommended plan, at the end of the fourth year, the student
will have completed the studies corresponding to the licentiate of Spanish
Philology (of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences) and the two first
two courses of the licentiate in Audiovisual Communication (of the Communication
School). The courses of the 5th and 6th year are dedicated to completing specific
studies in Audiovisual Communication. Each of the licentiates consists of
300 credits constituting in studies not of the program presented, a total
of 600 credits. Nevertheless, the plan of study for the double licentiate
allows for the the full development of both licentiates in 442 credits.
This is made possible thanks to the assimilation between the
two Licentiates of certain courses, the use of credits from elective material
which is compatible between the Schools, and open-elective credits reciprocally
applied from licentiate to licentiate.
Why take the double Licentiate
Experts in Audiovisual Communication are creators of important realities
in the public forum of contemporary society. Our daily experiences are fed
by cultural mediations such as film, radio and television.
Bringing these mediations into the public forum requires a profound knowledge
of the language used by society; the literary roots and linguistics of distinct
cultures and traditions. Such knowledge is of necessary benefit to the renovation
of creative energies and communicators of the new global society. The study
of Philology can extraordinarily enrich the work of communicators, in the
use of language, and words and their linguistic expression, which have always
been the driving force of creativity.
