Certificate in French

The Certificate in French is a six-month course offered by the Department of Languages. It teaches beginners to handle brief, easy written passages, follow a dialogue between native speakers and take part in basic conversations. Learners practise greetings, introductions, talking about family and friends, numbers, dates and times, French pronunciation and accents, describing people, ordering food and drink, asking for directions, and talking about home, clothes, pastimes and studies. The page also gives reasons for learning the language, linking it to international job opportunities and to French companies. Applicants need Class XII with at least 50 percent aggregate marks. Two fee levels are shown, one for external participants and one for members of the university. The page includes a module overview that outlines what learners are expected to achieve by the end of the course.
