As an MA (Hons) student of French, you will develop language and communications skills to a high level of proficiency through the study of French and Francophone language, literature and culture. You will have the opportunity to engage with a number of research-led specialist topics, which include literature and culture from the Middle Ages to the present day, French politics and culture, performance studies, intellectual history, postcolonial literature and theory, gender theory, film adaptation, modern French thought, creative writing, and translation studies.

During your third year, you have the opportunity to study abroad in France at one of the University’s Erasmus+ partners. Students who spend a year abroad 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.
