Course Overview

French is a primary international language. It's the first language of more than 100 million people worldwide, while more than 60 million speak French as a second language.

Studying with us will allow you to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working and studying in another country.

Education is essential if you wish to study initial teacher education courses. We offer you the chance to develop knowledge of the education systems of Scotland and beyond, looking at issues including policy, social justice, equity and inclusion.

Combining education with other subjects provides opportunities for those who wish to work in professions associated with education but don't wish to become teachers. Please note that this course doesn't allow you to qualify as a teacher. However, joint honours Education graduates can explore postgraduate routes into teaching careers (via the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education).

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen topics.
