B.A. French Full-time
Year: 3
2026/27 Session
To proceed from Stage II to Stage IIb (Year Abroad) a student must have a minimum of 100 credits to include the relevant Core III and Core IV language modules.
With effect from the 2020-21 cohort, Year 2 will be weighted at 25% and final year at 75%. The Year Abroad will be assessed on a pass/fail basis only and it will not count towards the final degree classification.
For all routes, students must normally complete 120 credits in total of year abroad modules (all at intermediate level).
In Route 1 students must normally complete 120 credits of year abroad modules in a single language.
In Route 2, where students are studying two languages and do not split the year, they must normally take a vacation course in the other language.
Students who entered the University as beginners in a language should normally spend at least a semester (or equivalent work period) in a country where that language is spoke.
There is no automatic right to do a work placement in any of the languages.
Where students can show valid grounds, as defined and approved by the Department of Modern Languages, exemption from the year abroad may be permitted. In such cases, students will transfer to a 3 year programme. Where students taking three languages are exempted from the Year Abroad, the normal expectation would be that the student would only continue with two languages into final year.
