BA (Hons) Modern Languages - French

At the University of Exeter, we provide a lively and friendly learning community in which to learn French, offering an inspiring teaching programme driven by internationally renowned researchers. Our basic philosophy is to ensure broad academic coverage with maximum choice, allowing you to study one or two additional languages alongside French should you wish to. As part of the BA Modern Languages: French course you can select from a wide variety of modules in most areas of French Studies: cultural studies from the Middle Ages to the present, literature and the visual arts, film, linguistics, gender studies and philosophy. You can decide to pursue a broad programme of study that includes modules taken from several of the areas mentioned above, or you can specialise in one or two of these areas.

In your third year, you will spend a year abroad in a Francophone country either studying at one of our renowned partner universities such as Rennes, Paris- Sorbonne and Brussels, teaching English as part of a British Council placement or gaining valuable employment experience and practical applied learning by working abroad. Work placements can be part-funded by the EU's Erasmus Work Placement scheme.

You can study French through four pathways:

choose to study French modules only and graduate with a BA in French
with one or two other languages (eg, Chinese, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish) as part of our BA Modern Languages degree
with Arabic, Art History & Visual Culture, Classical Studies, English, Film Studies, History, International Relations, Latin, Politics, Philosophy or Sociology as part of one of our Combined Honours Programmes
or with a bespoke selection of subjects as part of our Flexible Combined honours programme
