Course introduction
Do you have a passion for language and literature while also wanting to enhance your French proficiency? Our joint honors program combines English studies with a comprehensive French curriculum, offering the perfect blend for your academic journey.
You'll split your time equally between these interconnected disciplines, uncovering fascinating connections throughout your studies. The English component includes modules on theater and performance, linguistics, literature (from the Renaissance to modern works), and medieval studies. For French, alongside core language courses (available for beginners or advanced learners), you'll delve into France's vibrant culture and Francophone world through history, literature, politics, and language studies.
A highlight of the program is your year abroad, where you'll immerse yourself in French-speaking communities, refining your language abilities while gaining international exposure. Options include university study, teaching placements, professional internships, or a mix of these experiences.
Upon graduation, you'll possess deep knowledge of both French and English languages and cultures, along with advanced analytical and communication skills.
