About BA Politics and French
This course combines Politics and International Relations with the study of French, the first language of some 90 million speakers around the world. This provides a valuable skill set ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace.
You will study the politics of individual countries and governments, and the relationships between countries, communities and individuals. The School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies and the School of Modern Languages have an impressive reputation for teaching and research.
Politics is organised around three themes:
political theory
comparative and national politics
international relations.
In French you will combine advanced study of the language with cultural, literary and historical units. You will spend your third year abroad, which will enable you to refine your language skills and cultural knowledge and gain valuable work experience. For further details on year abroad opportunities please see Global Opportunities.
Both schools encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff respond in their teaching to new research. This course combination offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges.
