B.A. French with Business (Hons)

You take two modules in French language, one per semester, plus one year-long French culture module. In the first year, language modules are available at either Beginners and Improvers or Advanced level. In the second and fourth year, you take the same language modules as fellow students.

You must also take two modules in Business, one per semester, and a year-long Free Elective or another year-long module offered by the Department. French culture modules focus on themes such as social and cultural ‘revolution’ and France at war as well as French art and film.

The third year of the degree is spent in France. The Year Abroad will probably be one of the most exciting and challenging experiences you will ever have. You will notice a dramatic improvement in your spoken language, giving you greater confidence and more mature insights into the life of your chosen country. The 'year', incidentally, is an 'academic year' and means at least eight months spent abroad. Students can choose to study at an exchange partner university, work in a school as a language assistant or work in industry or commerce.#

You can expand your qualification by gaining the Trinity CertTESOL (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) whilst studying for your degree. You may also sit exams with the French Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce.
