French Studies (Ba): 4-Year, Part-Time

COURSE STRUCTURE

The programme consists of 12 modules of 30 credits each (or the equivalent including 15-credit modules), making a total of 360 credits. The modules are divided into three levels: Level 4 (introductory), Level 5 (intermediate) and Level 6 (honours).
