Proficiency in modern languages, such as French and Spanish, provides a competitive edge in the global job market, with high demand in private and public sectors for professionals skilled in culturally diverse environments. French is spoken by over 75 million people as a native language and serves as an official tongue in countries like Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, and parts of North Africa, while Spanish boasts widespread global reach. Our program immerses students in everyday language use within a multicultural community, drawing on departmental expertise in research, interpreting, translating, and education initiatives like the FLAME project.Students are required to spend a year abroad in a French- or Spanish-speaking country, fostering personal growth, new connections, and enhanced language skills. The course offers employability support through internships, practical training in communication and digital literacy, access to native-speaking staff, dedicated study spaces, and opportunities to engage with innovative research, all subject to travel restrictions. A foundation year is available to prepare students for success.
