Why study this course with us?- At Chester, you will have the opportunity to undertake a short placement at the end of Year 2 (Level 5). Most students also spend an academic year in a French-speaking country. This allows you to split your experience of residence abroad, offering you the chance to spend time on different types of placement and in different countries.
- In your first year you will have the opportunity to study a further language from scratch.
- The diverse nature of contemporary Fine Art and French offered by the University of Chester is represented in the design and delivery of the course within a supportive environment; whilst the emphasis is on practice, this is underpinned by a strong theoretical element.
- Opportunities for placements and elements of professional practice provide the course with a Ôreal-lifeÕ edge, affording you to consider the nature of the Fine Artist you could become. Media area workshops are well resourced and all Fine Art students are allocated studio spaces.
- There is regular tutorial and teaching contact with academic staff many of whom are practitioners and researchers of national and international standing.
Job prospects
A degree in French develops an impressive range of skills including strong communication and presentation skills, the ability to work autonomously and in groups, analytical and critical discernment and the resilience and confidence developed during placements abroad. Graduates often pursue further study or careers in professional translation, teaching, business, hospitality and in international organisations.
