Course Summary
Course Category: Northern Ireland (UU & CAFRE) - Apply through UCAS
In addition to developing linguistic proficiency in French, students on the Anthropology and French degree learn to critically reflect on identity, culture and society. In Anthropology, they examine patterns of social interaction, interrogate how social identities bind groups together, and understand how conflict arises and resolutions are found across the world’s cultures.
In French, they analyse Francophone cultures (literature, cinema, linguistics, art, history) in the broadest sense.
Students often spend their year abroad in a francophone country such as Martinique or Réunion, where they can complete anthropological fieldwork for their final-year project.
