Languages for All
These general language modules are open to all students (for credits or not), members of staff, and members of the public.
Available on a semester basis (11-12 weeks), they aim to develop language competence and cultural knowledge for professional and recreational purposes through small group weekly classes and guided independent learning.
Degrees with French
These modules are for undergraduate students undertaking a BA Modern Languages and Cultures degree with the school.
They are intended to build your proficiency in French over the years up to a near-native speaker level, taking into account any previous experience of the language you may have, whilst supporting your study of French culture in other modules.
Please visit the French Studies website for information on available degrees and culture-related modules.
