Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.
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.

These range from; Libraries and Documentary Heritage, Information Theories, Archival Descriptions and Collection Development, to Globalised Dimension of Archives, Research Methods, Advanced Archival Description and Library Services to Children and Young Adults. In the final semester, the knowledge and skills gained will be demonstrated in a set of synoptic examinations, in which the topics learned will culminate.
