About the course

French is a prominent global language spoken across Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Combining French with Social Policy offers an excellent joint honours programme, integrating the study of a modern language in its cultural, social, and political contexts with the analysis of welfare distribution, societal wellbeing, and influencing policies.In this programme, students can achieve near-native fluency in French through intensive study, including a full year abroad, while exploring Francophone literature, cinema, political history, social movements, and philosophical ideas. Courses span from the Middle Ages to the 21st century, featuring expert-led options in areas like post-colonial and gender studies. Social Policy examines social and economic changes, their causes, and impacts, alongside UK policy processes and the role of international organisations such as the EU and OECD. Edinburgh, as a vibrant cultural capital, provides an ideal setting, with its unique full-year abroad opportunity and flexible structure allowing specialisation from Years 1 and 2. Graduates gain a valued blend of broad cultural knowledge and specialist skills for global employers.
