Overview
Francophone Studies and Languages at Brandon University offers major and minor degree options combining the study of French-language literary texts with training in linguistic skills, alongside coursework in other languages including Spanish, Latin, and the Indigenous languages Cree, Dakota, and Ojibway at introductory through advanced levels. The program emphasizes both critical engagement with literature and the development of practical language competence, with intercultural communication as a running theme across its courses. Instruction is delivered on campus at Brandon University in Brandon, Manitoba. The program is designed for students looking to build or reconnect with French-language and Francophone cultural knowledge, those planning to travel or work in Manitoba or abroad, and learners generally interested in languages and literature, including those preparing for careers in health, education, customer service, business, the arts, public service, or the sciences where language skills are an asset.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Francophone Studies and Languages page on Brandon University's site states no admission requirements specific to this program beyond the general undergraduate admission policy referenced there. Entry follows Brandon's general undergraduate requirements: Manitoba high school graduates with no M, I or E designated courses (or a recognized GED/CAEC) receive a conditional offer on submitting the application, fee and transcript; out-of-province Canadian applicants need a minimum 60% average on the province's university-preparatory courses, including English. All applicants whose first language is not English, or who lack at least three years of English-medium secondary or post-secondary study, must meet Brandon's English Language Proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (min. 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 overall (min. 20 per section), Duolingo English Test 120 overall (min. 105 per component), PTE Academic 58, CAEL 60, or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 overall (min. 170 per component); exemptions include Manitoba Grade 12 English 40S at 70%+, IB Higher Level English 4+, AP English 4+, or Brandon's EAP Tier 4 program.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to Brandon University: for Fall (September) 2027 entry the deadline is August 15, 2027, and for Winter (January) 2027 entry it is December 1, 2026. International applicants must apply earlier: April 1, 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, and August 1, 2027 for the next open Winter window (Winter 2028 entry), since the Winter 2027 international deadline of August 1, 2026 has already passed. Applications for the new academic year open October 1 each year. A late application for one term is automatically carried to the following term rather than rejected, but Brandon does not otherwise describe admission as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
