You will study French from either beginner or advanced level, working towards becoming proficient, while also completing cultural modules each semester alongside courses in your partner subject. These modules examine a range of topics, including literature, cinema, sociolinguistics, and the histories and societies of the French-speaking world. During your Year Abroad, you will spend time in France studying at a university, working as a language assistant in a school, or undertaking a professional placement in a French-speaking country.<br/><br/>Combined Degrees<br/>Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law.
