This degree is taught by the Department of European Languages and Cultures and the Department of Politics, Philosophy. This degree scheme also includes a year abroad in a French-speaking country. Your French Studies programme focuses on developing fluency in the language, complemented by courses on the country’s historical, cultural, social and political background. In Philosophy, you can choose from a range of options, including the history of Philosophy and its relationship to other subjects. Any degree with a language component is attractive to employers, especially when combined with the analytical, logical and communications skills developed through the study of Philosophy. Our graduates have entered a wide variety of careers, ranging from accounting, computing and library work to journalism and interpreting. Others have taken up employment with major organisations such as the Diplomatic or Civil Service and the British Council. Teaching - in the UK or abroad - and joining businesses with a foreign-language element are among the most popular career paths. A number of our graduates decide to continue their education and progress on to postgraduate study.
