 French Studies

Description

French is a major international language and an official working language of the United Nations and many other international organisations. The study of French 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 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.
