The French Division offers basic elective courses to the students of the departments where the medium of instruction is either English or German. In addition to these courses the division also offers elective French courses to all university students and runs post graduate French courses for MA students. It is essential that students who have been accepted to departments where the medium of instruction is French are proficient in written and spoken French so that they will be able to follow adequately their chosen course of study. For this reason they must either pass the Proficiency Examination or provide evidence that they have acceptable French language qualifications. The courses are conducted in elementary, intermediary and advanced levels.
Assessment is through both oral and written examinations.
At the end of the year the students take a comprehensive examination. The students who fail in this examination take the French Proficiency Examination with the new applicants. If the students are successful in this examination they can register with their departments. The Division has a staff of 9 and caters to an undergraduate student population of 250.
