French with Dutch

French with Dutch is a unique degree programme in the UK. It combines a firm grounding in French Studies with both language and cultural studies courses in Dutch. The emphasis of the degree is on French Studies, but a substantial proportion of your time will be taken up by the study of Dutch. The weighting is two parts French to one part Dutch. This is different from a Dual Honours Degree, where you choose two subjects in equal proportion.

This is a breakdown of the degree structure. You will be expected to take 120 credits at each level:

Level One Level Two Year Abroad Level Three
