Embark on a rich academic journey with the MA French and Sociology at the University of Aberdeen, an undergraduate degree designed for students eager to understand the intricate relationship between language, culture, and societal structures. You will explore how societal forces shape individual identities and collective behaviours, while simultaneously developing advanced French language proficiency and a deep appreciation for Francophone cultures. This programme is ideal for those who seek to critically analyse the world around them through both linguistic and sociological lenses, preparing you for a globally aware and intellectually stimulating career.
This full-time, on-campus degree is structured over five years, including a vital academic year spent immersed in a French-speaking country to enhance your language skills and cultural understanding. Your studies will progress from foundational introductions to sociology and French language in the early years, to more specialised topics like the sociology of everyday life, revolution and revolt in modern France, and advanced language work in your later years. You will graduate with a unique interdisciplinary skillset, opening doors to careers in international relations, education, cultural exchange, journalism, and public policy.
