Students can master the French language through immersive classroom experiences and an optional exchange at a French-speaking university. They will participate in intensive summer language-immersion programs or apply for a summer job in a Francophone country. Students will develop extensive knowledge of intellectual and cultural developments in the French-speaking world, preparing them to live and work across the globe in a career that demands their bilingual communication skills.
Wilfrid Laurier University’s French program opens innumerable doors. In a bilingual country that requires people with strong analytical and communicative skills in both French and English, a French degree from the university prepares them for life after graduation.
The opportunities are endless for French students at Wilfrid Laurier University. They will study a wide range of subjects, including:
- Advanced writing in French;
- The diverse cultures of the French-speaking world;
- French and francophone literature, film, music and animation;
- French-English translation;
- French grammar (beginner, intermediate and advanced level); and
- The reflection and practice of teaching in French.
