Course programme
Students 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, all students take the same language modules. French culture modules focus on themes such as social and cultural revolution and France at war as well as French art and film.
Core modules in translation and linguistics form one third of the course, with the remaining two-thirds devoted to core language and cultural modules in your chosen language(s).
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.
