Now MU is going to offer the two-year programme for an integrated MA-MPhil degree, where French and Italian Languages will be offered besides English language.

MU, through its Centre for European Studies, has become the only university in Asia to become a part of an international consortium of eight universities in the world to offer the course

While the Centre for European Studies was inaugurated in July 2017 to co-ordinate the new international programme to be taught in eight universities in the world together, the centre received approval for separation from the Board of Latin, Greek and European Studies only in the Academic Council meeting held last month. The Centre has been created to promote Indian languages in Europe and European languages in India.

The other universities which are part of this consortium include University of Bologna, University of Mulhouse, University of Strasbourg, University of Lisboa, University of Thessaloniki, University of Moscow and University of Dakkar.

The enrollment for students will start once the programme is vetted by the UGC and other bodies. The classes are expected to start next year.

Any graduate student with C1 level of French and B1 level of Italian is eligible to apply for the course.

The course will help those looking to become inter-cultural facilitators for organisations in India and create qualified Indian teachers who can teach these languages here.
