Course summary
This course provides you with the skills to become a versatile, inter-culturally aware and professional graduate able to speak, write and read French with confidence. You’ll combine language studies with exploring culture and society, learning about the diversity of French, to equip you for working with native speakers. You’ll enrich your study, and tailor your course, by choosing from optional modules in translation and interpreting, the conflicts of history, visual culture and cinema. Whether you are learning as a beginner or have a more advanced understanding of French, you’ll study the language of the media, commerce and cultural expression. You’ll gain a thorough knowledge of the global language, which is enhanced with a year abroad in a French-speaking context (in places such as Belgium, Canada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Senegal and Metropolitan France).
