Bachelor of Arts in French (Honours)

McMaster University

As a student of French at McMaster, you’ll be immersing yourself in one of Canada’s official languages, and one of the most widespread languages in the world, spoken by millions in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, North America and Asia. With our concentration on ''Francophonie et Diversite'' (the Francophone World and Diversity), you’ll also be introduced to the rich literary and cultural traditions of French-speaking communities. The language of instruction and communication in the Department is French, which will enable you to increase your fluency. Each year, we welcome language assistants from France who help our students to hone their skills. Students will also have the opportunity to spend their third year of the program on exchange at a university in France or Quebec.In addition to language instruction, we offer French courses in the following areas: Franco-European Literatures and CulturesQuebecois, Indigenous and Franco-Canadian Literatures and CulturesFranco-African and Caribbean Literatures and CulturesTranslation
