BA in Education and French (with a year abroad)

The BA in Education and French (with a year abroad) is designed for students interested in understanding educational theories alongside developing their language skills. The course combines core topics in education, such as learning theories, pedagogy, and the role of education in society, with a strong focus on French language and culture. In the first few years, students will explore both areas, gaining practical teaching skills and fluency in French, preparing them for careers that require bilingual communication or work in educational settings.

Students also have the opportunity to spend a year abroad in a French-speaking country. This experience is meant to improve language proficiency and give real-world insight into different educational systems. Throughout the program, students build skills that can lead to careers in teaching, language services, or international work. The course emphasizes both academic knowledge and practical experience, helping students develop confidence and versatility in their chosen fields.
