Honours

Students wishing to make French one of their first-year subjects at the University of Glasgow are presented with a choice of courses. Flexibility of choice is maintained in a variety of ways throughout the undergraduate course, most notably at Honours level. Students have access to the Hetherington Language Centre and the University Library. These are among the best resourced in the country. Honours students in the subject also run the highly convivial Chardon club, which organises a variety of events during the course of the year.

You can combine more than 50 subjects with French at the University, over half of them at Honours level. Among the most popular combinations are: other modern languages; management studies; English literature; film and TV studies; theatre studies; Scottish literature; computing science; philosophy; modern history; psychology; music; English language; history of art; political economy; medieval history; Scottish history; mathematics; Latin; classical studies; geography; sociology.

This flexibility was one of the factors contributing to the section being rated as EXCELLENT by the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council when provision for French Studies within the University was assessed in 1997. A team of four assessors - three appointed from Universities in Scotland and England, and one from industry - visited the section. As well as observing a variety of teaching sessions, they assessed students' work, inspected University facilities and interviewed students and staff. The assessors highlighted the innovative video-based language courses in use, the variety of options on literature, culture and politics, the excellent resources and facilities available to students, as well as the caring attitude and commitment of the staff.

Many of this year's courses, in particular material for language classes, will become available in the course of the session through the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Moodle. This requires registration. Click here to go to the Languages Moodle (http://moodle.gla.ac.uk/smlc/moodle).
