French: A year abroad

You will have the opportunity to study and work abroad in your third year

About the course

Apply for this course
Foreign languages open doors to exciting new experiences. An ability to use a foreign language is also held in high regard by employers. All Modern Languages students take two languages together with modules on culture and society in the English, French and Spanish-speaking worlds.
You may study either French or Spanish at beginners’ level as one of your two languages. You spend the third year of this four-year course abroad, studying at one of our partner institutions or gaining work experience, perhaps as an English-language assistant in a school or college.

English as a Foreign Language, French and Spanish are also offered in combination with subjects outside Modern Languages.
