Location of University of Luxembourg

At the moment, the University of Luxembourg offers a one-year programme in English literature and linguistics. Students spend this year in Luxembourg, a crossroads of cultures, a small but homely city, in an institution that does not suffer from overcrowded lecture theatres or the anonymity typical of so many large institutions. It is the personal touch we are proud of - at the University of Luxembourg student numbers are not excessively high and therefore staff-student relations are cordial and informal.

After completing their year in Luxembourg, most of our students move on to the United Kingdom, Ireland or the United States to complete their degree. Access to the university of their choice is often made easier by their having spent a first year at the University of Luxembourg

Goals

The courses offered by the English Department aim:

* to prepare you for your studies in the United Kingdom or other English-speaking countries;
* to familiarise you with the tutorial system;
* to encourage you to think critically and work independently;
* to supply you with a space in which you can develop, express and experiment with your ideas;
* to further discussion and provide a forum for a multiplicity of viewpoints;
* to enable you to explore the connections between texts and their contexts.
