Immerse yourself in French language and culture.
Courses in this major cover language skills and offer knowledge about some of the major historical, social, literary and philosophical movements in the Francophone world.
Many graduates use their language competency to enhance employability in fields such as business, education, tourism and politics.
The French major is designed for students who have no previous knowledge of French. If you have completed substantial French study, the French Advanced major is for you.

The most powerful thing that I learnt at university was the ability to think critically. I carried this ability to analyse and dissect a situation from different angles with me from the classroom to different professional scenarios with relative ease.
My studies enabled me to spend a semester on exchange in France: an experience which has been invaluable especially during my BA honours year. I will be heading back to France on a scholarship to study my masters.
