The French and Management gain a strong grounding in the main areas of business and develop your written and spoken French to a near-native level. Through this course you will become confident and highly skilled in written and spoken French. You will master the fundamental elements of the language, to the point where you will graduate with a near-native command of it. We’re proud of our small language classes, led by native speakers. Direct access to expert staff for help and feedback ensures you develop your language skills to the best of your ability. You will have the opportunity to study with staff who are internationally recognised experts in French-speaking literature; history and culture, including the literature of the French Caribbean; French children’s literature and publishing; 20th century French history; medieval literature, history and art, as well as translation and adaptation studies. By the time you graduate, you will be able to write and speak fluently in French – a big advantage given the current shortage of well-qualified linguists in the UK. The experience of studying or working abroad also distinguishes you from non-language graduates, providing evidence of self-reliance, adaptability and enterprise. The course also provides you with numerous transferable skills in research, analysis, presenting and group working, which will prove useful in a wide range of careers.
