French Studies

Description


French Studies is a major international language and an official working
language of the United Nations and many other international organisations. The
study of French Studies not only equips students with French communication
skills, but enables them to learn more generally about the structure and
function of language/s, while the study of French literature, linguistics and
culture aids in the development of a critical and inquiring mind.

French Studies graduates have pursued careers in a wide variety of fields, from
teaching to public and diplomatic service, journalism and the media,
administration, private industry and tourism.

At UNSW, French Studies is taught at the undergraduate level in a number of

Baccalaureat or equivalent qualification.
