About

French is taught in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures.

Leeds is the largest and most popular provider of French in the UK. Independent surveys testify to the very high quality of both our teaching and our research: in the 2009 National Student Survey, we recorded an exceptionally high level of course satisfaction, with 90% of our finalists declaring themselves satisfied with their academic experience here; and according to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, we are placed in the top ten for French in the UK, with the majority of our research activity being judged 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent'.

Our teaching and research

Our size allows us to offer the widest range of options in the country, with over forty undergraduate modules, meaning that students can specialise in the areas they find most stimulating. Our teaching and research resources are extensive, including an excellent library, a state-of-the-art computer network and a large Language Centre, offering live satellite TV viewing, personal off-air recording facilities, an IT (CALL) lab, and extensive self-access and tuition facilities and courses.
