French GradDip

This graduate-level diploma course builds your French language skills. It is suitable if you wish to teach French, or if you already have a school qualification in French (such as a Higher or A-level) and are looking to further your skills for work or personal interest. Using a combination of online tools, including web conferencing and online immersion days, you will increase your skills in the French language, including grammar and communication skills. You will also gain a wider knowledge of French culture and society, as well as themes such as French literature, history, education, environment, and cinema. The course is organised into multiple modules of approximately ten weeks duration. The choice of assessments and the project allow you to focus on your own specific interest areas.

Applicants will normally have a pass in Higher French (or equivalent, such as the Dundee Intensive French course by distance-learning). If you are a Secondary MFL teacher seeking an additional qualification in French, your undergraduate degree should normally be in another Modern Foreign Language, and you should hold a current Secondary MFL teaching qualification.
