The programme of study will give you an academic lens of European and Global history. By taking an academic appreciation towards the global timeline to where contemporary society finds itself, you will have a deeper and enriching understanding of the political, societal and cultural development throughout the years. Since we live in an ever-increasing globalised world, being knowledgeable about continental progress and differences from the East to West will provide you with an invaluable understanding of the interrelating histories of different and multilateral countries. You will also be encouraged to take on an Erasmus+ mobility programme to experience a multicultural and diversified learning experience.

The programme of study in French at an undergraduate level will give you an academic lens of the history, culture, language and literature of France. During the course we will instil within you a deep appreciation towards the language in both a linguistic and Literary perspective, as we will help you refine and hone your spoken, auditory and reading prowess in the language. By understanding the influence that the language and nation has had on an international level through the eyes of authors, poets, and countries, you will be more au courante with the history that the contemporary country holds onto and upholds. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diversified learning journey.
