Programme Outline
This is a highly competitive University of London degree, incorporating an intensive, compulsory semester in Paris. The degree
offers advanced language proficiency, including translation skills. It also offers in-depth study of literature and culture, and
introduces you to a range of theoretical and critical approaches to the study of French and France. It enables you to develop
critical and analytical skills valuable in the global marketplace and also provides a module on French for professional purposes..
