The BA Hons Education & French at the University of Strathclyde is designed for students passionate about the intersection of language, culture, and societal development. You will explore the complexities of education systems, from policy and social justice to equity and inclusion, while simultaneously developing advanced proficiency in the French language. This undergraduate degree is ideal for those seeking a career that bridges linguistic expertise with educational insight, offering a comprehensive understanding of both fields. You'll gain a unique perspective on how language shapes educational experiences and opportunities globally.
This full-time, on-campus programme spans four years and immerses you in both French language acquisition and educational theory. Your studies will progress through linguistic development, cultural contexts, and educational encounters, culminating in a compulsory year abroad spent studying or working in a Francophone country. In your final year, you will engage with thematic dossiers on current French issues, hone professional language skills like translation and interpreting, and potentially undertake a dissertation or specialised modules in educational research and practice. You will graduate with a versatile skill set, prepared for diverse roles in education, international relations, or further postgraduate study.
