Learning a language opens a door to another culture. Our BA French Studies allows you to raise your French language competence to a high level of fluency and gain the linguistic skills needed for efficient negotiation with French speakers, combined with a critical appreciation of the cultural values that lie at the heart of French life.

You will learn about literature, thought and film, and French politics and society, and enhance your skills, including translating, summary-writing, and delivering written and oral presentations.

This programme is also available for full-time evening study over four years, including a year of study abroad, and for part-time evening study over four years.
