BA French A-levels ABB (BBC†
) IB 32 (29† )
The Single Honours French course at Bristol will help you to achieve a high level of fluency and accuracy in modern spoken and written French. It also allows you to study many original aspects of the society, culture, literature and linguistic history of French-speaking countries.
You will develop a thorough understanding of the rich diversity of the culture in France and elsewhere in the French-speaking world. As well as studying the literature and culture of France itself from the Middle Ages through to the 21st century, you will cover the literatures and cultures of the Francophone world of north Africa and other former French colonies.
We offer popular options on French cinema as part of a broader specialism in the relationship between literary, visual and musical cultures, and challenging options in linguistics.
BA French and a modern language A-levels ABB (BBC†
) IB 32 (29† )
The Joint Honours degree enables you to develop your French knowledge and language skills beyond A-level while studying another language (most are available from beginners’ level). Many students find that studying two languages makes them stronger linguists. You will spend half of your third year in a French- speaking country and the other half in a country relevant to your other language.
You will achieve a high degree of fluency and accuracy in written and oral registers in both languages. The course offers a broad range of studies including the study of both languages and the history, literature and culture of countries where those languages are spoken.
