Modules

In year one you will receive a firm grounding in the structures of French through the core language module and pursue introductory studies in reading French texts, contemporary France, French history and linguistics. You will take compulsory core modules introducing you to French language and culture. You will take your remaining credits studying optional modules relating to your degree course. In year two you will develop your language skills to prepare you for the year abroad. You will study a choice of modules aimed at developing your knowledge of France and Francophone countries and culture. Your third academic year is spent in France or a Francophone country either on a programme of studies in a higher education institution, working as an assistant in a school or on a work placement. In year four you will perfect your command of the French language and its use in increasingly sophisticated contexts and study optional modules drawn from a list covering a wide range of topics in the fields mentioned in the course description. You also have the option to do a dissertation. Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award.
