A Joint Honours degree programme involves the study of two subjects to Honours degree level. If you study a subject in a Joint Honours programme, you work at exactly the same level and to the same academic standard as students taking that subject in a Single Honours programme. Joint Honours students are simply required to choose fewer topics from the range of options available in each half of the programme.
French Studies at Birmingham is designed to give you an in-depth knowledge of the language and culture of France. We put an emphasis on small group teaching and encourage student participation. We produce confident, articulate graduates who are enthused by their subject and who benefit from excellent possibilities for employment in the UK and EU.
The French Department at Birmingham is a large, vibrant community of staff and students. The expertise of our staff enables us to offer a wide range of courses covering all areas of French language, culture, history, literature and film.
French may be studied in combination with many other subjects as part of a Joint Honours programme. Students follow the same language course but choose fewer literary, cultural or political options from the range available in the department. Joint Honours students normally spend their third year (or a shorter period) in France.
