4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law, and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - French and Linguistics

Program Description

Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career.

Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Westminster.

The commercially well-connected University of Westminster is hugely international. Students can study alongside students from nearly 170 countries.

This degree offers the exciting combination of the study of French language and culture alongside the wider study of the forms, structures and varieties of language itself.

Students will develop a high level of competence in oral and written communication in French, proficiency in language transfer skills, and a thorough knowledge of French culture. On graduation, students will be able to thrive linguistically in diverse cultural situations.

Students will study an integrated curriculum with a focus on applied language skills and cultural studies, supported by a rigorous development of foreign languages skills in all areas. The course teaches in an integrated interdisciplinary way, exploring the connections between language and culture and the broader historical and cross-cultural contexts in which they are produced. 

The linguistics component of the combined degree will develop an understanding and knowledge of language to an advanced and sophisticated level, while fostering and enhancing your skills in using English.

Between Years 2 and 3, students will have the opportunity to spend a full academic year abroad at one of our partner institutions, or undertake an approved form of employment in a country where French is the official language, such as France, Canada or Belgium. Students may work as a paid language assistant in a foreign school or undertake a work (or volunteering) placement, both of which give them a valuable opportunity to boost employability while improving language competence. 

The French courses are only available to beginner or intermediate entrants. Please note that they may need to test students to determine their entry point.
