A rather higher entrance qualification is required, since students on this programme will be studying in Paris by the middle of their second year. The French element of these programmes is given below. French with Management is unique in that it is the only Humanities degree to be offered with Management. Most applications are considered between November and February, and suitably qualified applicants are normally interviewed. This interview gives applicants the opportunity to explain their interests and find out about the French Department, rather than being a formal test.
Applicants also meet current students.
We are looking for students with a good command of French, who are anxious to improve it further, and who have a love of reading and a lively interest in the rest of the world - particularly in France. We have a long tradition of accepting mature students. Formal admission requirements may be more flexible, but evidence of academic study in French is required. The interview is normally a prerequisite for admission, offering a crucial opportunity to discuss any problems associated with a return to formal study. There is a French option within the interdisciplinary programme of European Studies , which focuses on history, politics, geography and economics.
