About Bachelor of French

The teaching degree program in French covers the French language, which evolved from Latin, its special characteristics, its literatures and diverse culture. Students deepen their practical knowledge of the language and also study content from the areas of linguistics, literature and cultural studies. The field of linguistics examines the emergence, development and current state of the French language (phonology, word formation, syntax, etc.). Students also receive an overview of other subfields of linguistics as well as their theories and methods. Literary studies provide insights into the literary history of the respective language area from the Middle Ages to the present (periods, genres, authors, works, etc.) as well as theories, methodologies and models with regard to French literature. In addition, students are acquainted with methodologies and aids for literary research.
