Why choose this subject?
> What distinguishes French at Maynooth is a strong tradition of teaching the French language, literature and culture, with much teaching taking place through the medium of French.
> Maynooth has a network of exchanges with universities in countries where French is spoken. Studying French opens a world of exciting opportunities.
> As part of this programme, you may also spend a year studying at a French-speaking university or working as a language teacher in France (subject to availability).
> At Maynooth University, students gain a thorough grounding in the language and acquire a familiarity with a world language expressing vibrant cultures and diverse histories. French is offered in a friendly, supportive environment at non-beginner level (Leaving Certificate H5 in French or equivalent) from first year.
Students interested in teaching French should note that the Teaching Council of Ireland require all registered teachers of French to have spent a minimum of two months living in a French-speaking country. The Maynooth University School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures advise at least a three-month residency.
Options after graduation?
> Language skills are increasingly essential in the modern world and a degree in French offers students enhanced employability in a wide range of careers including the diplomatic service, development work with NGOs, education, publishing, working with EU institutions, translation and interpreting, banking and business, international trade, communications, or tourism.
> Multinational companies, many of whom have bases in Ireland, often stress the importance of finding graduates who are not only fluent in languages but who have the intercultural competence to deal with colleagues and customers in an increasingly globalised world.

“ I graduated with a BA in French and Music. I really liked the structure of the course at Maynooth with its multi-dimensional approach, focusing on literature, Francophone culture and society as well as linguistic competence (which was further enhanced by an active French society within the university).”
JOHN KILLEEN, GRADUATE
