The Department of French at the University of St Andrews is truly diverse in its outlook and activities. The Department currently comprises nine academic staff who are among the leaders in their fields and whose work covers a broad spectrum of French studies. They are supported by two full-time native speakers, and a number of part-time teachers. Significant numbers of international students, including students from France, are attracted to the Department of French within the context of our exchange and postgraduate study programmes, making it a truly international and francophone environment in which to pursue academic study.
French is taught with modern, ‘communicative’ methods which combine a high level of oral competence with sound grammatical accuracy. In September 2008 the School opened a new Multimedia Centre with the latest digital technology to enhance the learning and practice of oral and aural language skills.
The first two years of study have been designed to stand as autonomous units which are of value and interest in themselves. They also allow continuing students to make informed choices when deciding which French modules to take in third and fourth years. Overall the St Andrews French MA programme is designed
