Program details

Overview

French Studies at Trent University, housed within the School for the Study of Canada, covers Franco-Canadian and francophone cultures and literatures alongside French-language instruction from elementary to advanced levels. Course topics include Quebec literature, francophone cinema, science fiction, translation, and Indigenous francophone works. Majors can take part in a study-abroad term in Nantes, France, to develop language skills in a francophone European setting. The program aims to develop bilingual, culturally aware graduates prepared for careers or further study as teachers, public servants, graduate students, scholars, or in other roles requiring French-language proficiency. The credential is a Bachelor of Arts (General), requiring 15.0 credits over three years of full-time study. Students who completed Grade 12 (4U/M) French begin with FREN 1101H and 1102H; students without Grade 12 French take a placement test upon registration to determine their starting level.
