Course summary

Course overview

If youre passionate about history but also dream of spending time in France and becoming fluent in the language – how do you choose which degree to study: We say, choose both!

This joint honours course allows you to combine your curiosity about human experience with your love of communicating in another language.

With History modules ranging from ‘Central European History to ‘Liberating Africa and French modules taking you from 'La Republique Gaullienne' to 'French Cinema - The New Wave' – youre able to truly personalise this degree around your personal interests or career aspirations.

Many of our students say the year abroad is their course highlight. Not only do you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the French language and culture, but spending time abroad can make you more independent and confident.

How you will be assessed

You will be assessed by a wide variety of methods, consisting mainly of coursework and exams, but you may also be tasked with commentaries, dissertations, group work, in-class tests, portfolios and presentations.

Each module has its own methods of assessment and we strive to make these as varied as possible so that everyone can perform to the best of their abilities. When choosing optional modules, you will be able to see how the module is assessed in advance.

Careers overview

Studying languages can open up a world of opportunities. From banking to charities and from teaching to MI5, businesses and organisations across the globe seek to employ language specialists.

During this degree youll be able to choose from a wide range of modules, allowing you to tailor your studies around personal interests. In doing so youll start to identify potential career paths and begin to discover your areas of professional interest.

In addition to language skills, youll develop transferable skills highly sought after by employers such as confident communication skills, strict attention to detail and the ability to work within different cultures and organisational styles.
