As the language of romance and diplomats, French language and culture has had an impact on the rest of the world for centuries. The ability to speak French opens doors throughout international business and diplomatic communities.

French culture and civilisation have long contributed to our own cultural and linguistic heritage. Over 100 million people speak French not just in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, but also in parts of the South Pacific, Canada, Africa, and Latin America.

This programme will enhance your understanding of French civilisation and allow you to communicate effectively in both spoken and written French.

Language is part of our everyday lives, yet how much do we actually understand about how it works? Linguistics is the study of language, its structure and meaning, how it is learnt and used, and what this says about who we are and where we come from.

Linguistics broadens your understanding of how language works in your own society, and it also provides understanding of concepts and structures in languages and cultures beyond your own. You will identify core similarities in language and communication, two activities that define us as humans. It appeals especially to students who enjoy learning languages or have a curiosity about language.

Learning about History means learning about change in the world and in ourselves. History is unavoidable, and having a better understanding of history makes us more broadminded as people and citizens.

History is a topic as large as our recorded past. Our cultural heritages, literatures, arts, religions, politics, economics, social behaviours, buildings, and landscapes all derive from past influences.

The breadth of papers offered allows you to explore your own particular interests. Examples of available topics include the history of New Zealand and the Pacific, Britain/Europe, pre-industrial societies, colonisation, social and political history, or contemporary history.
