Course programme
Joint Honours students usually take three modules in French (including core language and culture) and three Film Studies modules (including Reading the Screen and Screen Nations). French culture modules focus on themes such as social and cultural 'revolution'; and France at war as well as French art and film.
Beyond the first year you have a free choice of film modules including East Asian Cinema; Analysing Television Drama; Hitchcock: Anatomy of an Auteur; Disney Studies; Spy Cinema; and a screen production project. French modules in the second and final years include core modules and choices of cultural modules. A full module catalogue is available on the departmental websites.
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, as you notice a dramatic improvement in your spoken language and gain unique insights that employers seek in today's competitive jobs market. 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.
The Department offers the largest Free Elective Programme in the University with 10 languages (Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish) ranging from absolute beginners to post A-level. All our language degrees offer the opportunity to add a new language as a 20-credit Free Elective module. The programme allows incredible flexibility and adaptability to employment demands.
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.
