Three Year BA in French (R102)
3) Proposed Date of Amendment Introduction 1 September 2013
4) Rationale
Detail the rationale for the proposed amendment(s).
The bespoke language module is required in order that staff at ULIP may deliver core language teaching in the second semester
of the second year that follows on from core language work taken at QMUL in the first semester of that year. It is also designed to
help ensure that students are able on their return from Paris to join Final Year students taking the 4-year BA (Hons) French degree
and take the compulsory level 6 French core module.
The compulsory bolt-on Research Project is intended to provide students with extra experience in researching and writing in
French, and with extra formative feedback.
5) Resource Implications of Proposed Amendment(s)
Are there any resource implications linked to the proposed amendment(s)?
Time will be needed for QMUL staff in French to mark and provide feedback on project work at the start of the students' final
year.
There are no further resource implications
6) Anticipated Practical Implications of Proposed Amendment(s)
Please specify how students' study patterns might be affected. Have the students been consulted about the
proposed amendment(s)?
