Why Study French in Trinity College Dublin

Over 160 million people now speak French in countries on all five continents. The French ‘Arts’ programme in Trinity is a challenging and demanding one, which provides students with a thorough grounding in French, and a wide knowledge of major aspects of French literature, culture, society, and linguistics. The course aims not only to provide students with the specific skills to pursue a career in French-related areas, but also to develop transferable skills such as an analytical mind, an acute sense of critical inquiry, cultural awareness, communication skills and self-reliance which will equip students to think independently and to see the world in new ways, irrespective of what their career paths turn out to be.
