French is one of the two working languages of the United Nations and many other organisations actively engaged in international politics and welfare (such as the Red Cross, the Olympic Games, the EU). As the language of a former colonial power and a language spoken on all five continents, it continues to play an important part in the arts, politics and daily lives of millions of people throughout the world.

At UOW, you will study French language, grammar, culture and history. You can begin your study of the French language from scratch or from the intermediate level and become proficient in all four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. France has a history and fascinating culture. You will discover the events and socio-cultural forces that have shaped modern France, its people and language.

What you will study

Core subjects will teach you to speak French in a variety of social situations while learning French history, culture and society, including Francophone cultures outside of France. In addition to the French major you will choose a minor or a second major from the Bachelor of Arts offerings.

Why choose this course

UOW's Language Centre utilises the latest technologies in language teaching, and authentic and current linguistic and cultural information. Programs can be tailored specifically to prepare you with the skills to work both professionally and competently in a language other than English.

You'll also have the opportunity to experience French studies firsthand through either a period of study abroad in France or in New Caledonia, or by working as an English-language assistant in a French school.

Studying Arts and Humanities at UOW allows you to tailor a degree specifically to your interests. Our flexible options let you choose the direction your program takes, such as specialising in a political, historical, international or creative discipline.
