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.

In the undergraduate course in Sociology, we will provide you with an academic lens on the study of human behaviour and its causal and contingent relationship with social life in its versatile facets. By studying sociology, you will become knowledgeable on the cohesive and important structures of society and its organisations. You will have a heightened and refined awareness on topics ranging from economic and environmental sociology, to sociology of sport, law and religion. We will also encourage you to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diverse academic journey.
