About

French can be taken as part of the UL Arts Degree as a joint honours combination. Review the subjects you can study with French by looking at the table on the BA Arts course page.

About You

You have an existing basis in the French language and a curiosity to learn more about the socially diverse and culturally rich French-language world. You are interested in both language learning and in how the effective practice of a language depends on an understanding of the cultures and ideas of those who use it.

Uniquely, you wish to engage with other cultures and a specific international language: French. In doing so, you will experience social media, novels, poetry, non-fiction, ideas and systems of values and thought. You wish to tackle French and Francophone writings that have helped us to understand people and the world that we share.

Why Study French at UL?

French is offered in the University of Limerick at advanced level, and our objective for students is the achievement of outstanding linguistic and cultural competence over the course of the degree programme. To this end, all French modules are taught through the medium of French, using a full range of appropriate resources and technologies. If you are open to new ideas and experiences, and enthusiastic about extending your own linguistic and intellectual boundaries, a degree with French can be a very rewarding choice.
