This will run in parallel with optional course units on French and Francophone history, politics, literature, popular culture and/or linguistics, from the Early Modern period to the present. <br/><br/><br/>- You will benefit from our long-established partnership with the Alliance Francaise de Manchester with cultural events throughout the year, such as film screenings, talks, plays, concerts, exhibitions and intensive language classes.<br/><br/><br/>- You will also benefit from our collaboration with the Institut de Touraine in the Loire Valley, which hosts Easter and Summer French language classes that are appropriate for complete beginners and finalists. <br/><br/><br/>- Our range and quality of courses are regularly cited for praise by external examiners and two colleagues have won University Teaching Excellence Awards. <br/>
