French, Bachelor’s Course is a final undergraduate course aimed at deepening students’ scholarly competence in French linguistics or literary and cultural studies. The course consists of an independent degree project worth 15 credits and two compulsory modules of 7.5 credits each, focusing on linguistics and literary studies respectively. Through theoretical and methodological specialization, students develop their ability to formulate research questions, analyze linguistic and literary material, and produce and orally defend academic texts in French. Teaching is conducted in the form of lectures and seminars and is primarily carried out in French.
The course is structured around an independent degree project supported by two parallel advanced modules. The structure aims to progressively develop students’ scholarly skills and to anchor the degree project in relevant theoretical and methodological perspectives.
Modules
