Degree Schemes :
At Part 1 (first-year) level, in addition to the core language module, there is a range of literary, linguistic and political options which will develop what you have done at A-level and introduce you to new areas of study. In line with our view that the approach should be truly “European”, the first-year course includes four interdisciplinary modules: Language, Culture and Identity; Language in Society; Images of Europe and Introduction to European Film.
In addition, we offer a module on French literature, Images of France through Childhood Memories, designed to introduce you to the study of literary texts. Assuming you pass Part 1 satisfactorily, you can then proceed to Honours French, with a range of degree schemes: Joint Honours French (typically, 50% French plus 50% of another subject, in the Arts Faculty or outside it, like Political Sciences, Theatre, Film and Television Studies, Tourism, etc.), French as part of the Modern Languages with Business Studies (MLBS) degree scheme (two languages plus Business Studies), or French as a minor component of (for example) a degree in Law, in which case you may opt for either a three or four-year course, the latter with a year abroad in a French-speaking country.
There are also two multi-language degree schemes available: the Single Honours degree in European Languages , where you study three languages, and Romance Languages , which entails the study of at least two Romance languages, and additional modules which focus on the linguistic aspects of this language group.
In the Honours (Part 2) years, at Level 2 (second year), and Level 3 (final year), in addition once more to the core language module, there is a range of literary, linguistic and cultural modules ranging from The Invention of French to The Myth of Paris, and Humour in French Literature to specialist modules concerned with French for business . Interdisciplinary modules are also available. Between years 2 and 3 you will spend a year abroad , part or all of it in a French-speaking country, usually as an assistant(e) teaching English in a school, as a student in a university, or working.
