Course Description
This course, combining Philosophy with degree-level study in French language and culture, is open to beginners in Philosophy and French as well as post-A level students. If you are a beginners' French student, you will follow an intensive language course designed to take you to degree level within four years. If you are a post-A level student you will take language classes at an advanced level. Absolute beginners, GCSE, AS (beginners' entry), or A level students (post-A level entry) in French are warmly invited to apply.
On both routes - post-A level or beginners' - you will divide your time equally between French and Philosophy.
