Yet, are you also driven by a curiosity to better understand society and make sense of your place in the world?If your answer to these two questions is yes, then this is the degree for you. The departments of French and Philosophy allow you to develop understanding and skills in these two highly complementary subjects.With Philosophy modules ranging from ‘Gender, Justice and Society’ to ‘Mind and Consciousness’ and French modules taking you from ‘Enlightenment Literature’ to ‘Sociolinguistics’ – you’re 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.

When choosing optional modules, you will be able to see how the module is assessed in advance. Careers overviewStudying 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 you’ll be able to choose from a wide range of modules, allowing you to tailor your studies around personal interests.
