Group
TEACHING STYLE Most teaching takes place in small-group classes and
seminars supported by lectures. Modules in the French language are
focused on high level skills in written and oral French and involve
intensive contact with native speakers of French. We offer
specialised modules in translation, while training all students to
write and speak French at a high level of sophistication. Modules
in French literature, culture, history and politics are taught by
lecturers internationally recognised for their expertise in these
fields, and aim to develop a broad and deep knowledge of French
culture, as well as an advanced capacity for critical thinking and
analysis.
STRUCTURE OF PROGRAMMES & ASSESSMENT All students of French
follow a core language module each year and choose optional modules
in the French language, French literature, thought, film, history
and politics. Students on all French programmes take a balance of
language and content modules. Modules are assessed either by
coursework, desk examination, or a combination of both. The final
classification you obtain for your degree is based on the modules
you take in each of the three or four years of your degree.
LOCATION Located in the heart of London, the department is close to
unparalleled resources for students of French, specialist
libraries, the Institut Français, unrivalled galleries, theatres
and cinemas. All teaching takes place at the Strand Campus.
SPECIAL NOTES The single honours four-year French degree, like all
other joint and major/minor honours programmes, includes a third
year spent studying abroad. If you take joint honours in French and
another language your year abroad will usually be split between a
French-speaking country and a country speaking your other language.
If you combine French with a subject that is not another language
your whole year abroad will be spent in a French-speaking country.
We have exchanges with many different universities in places as
diverse as Paris, Montpellier, Montreal, Geneva and Martinique
among others. King’s is also one of the few French departments in
the country to offer a three-year French degree including six
months spent at the University of London Institute in Paris.
