During your third year, you have the opportunity to study abroad in France at one of the UniversityÕs Erasmus+ partners. Students who spend a year abroad not only gain valuable work experience as teachers and tutors, but also develop their linguistic skills, intercultural competence, and self-confidence.

The MA (Hons) in French is also available as a five-year course with an integrated year abroad. The integrated year abroad is an opportunity for students to spend a year working in a French-speaking country between second year and third year.

The MA (Hons) in French is a four-year course run by the School of Modern Languages. In the first two years, you will build on your existing skills in French and be offered a broad view of French literature, civilisation and culture.

Alongside French, in the first year of your studies you will be required to study an additional two subjects. In the second year, you will usually carry on at least one of these subjects, sometimes two.
