Dutch Oral C

All candidates for Part II of the Modern and Medieval Languages Tripos are required to take an oral examination in one language (unless granted exemption by the Faculty Board). The oral examination will consist of a twenty-minute conversation with the examiners on a topic chosen by the candidate from a list of four topics specified by the Faculty Board. The examination is held in late September or early early October. The topics for Dutch for the oral examinations to be held in October 2006 to form part of Tripos 2007 are as follows:

1. Migratie: integreren of isoleren?
2. De invloed van het Modernisme op ons dagelijks leven
3. De waarde van het literaire vertalen.
4. Van boek naar film: toegevoegde waarde?
5. Candidates may also speak on an oral topic of their own choosing, if they do not wish to choose from one of the four topics published above. Candidates will not be required to submit the topic in advance of the examination. Further information and advice on this examination can be found here.
