French (TSM) cannot be studied as a single honor course.
It must be combined with one other subject within the two-
subject moderatorship (TSM) programme. TSM is a joint honor
programme. An honors degree is awarded in both subjects.
For subjects that combine with French see page 36.
Alternatively, French may be selected as one of the two
languages studied in the European studies programme
or studied as the chosen language of either the Computer
science and language, the Business studies and a language,
or the Law and a language degree programmes.

Is this the right course for you?
French literature, culture and civilisation have a long and
distinguished history. If you are interested in the possibility of
exploring this dynamic society and in finding out more about
other cultures where French is spoken, in Europe and throughout
the world, French at Trinity College will appeal to you.
Course overview
French, read in combination with another subject, is designed to
provide you with a thorough grounding in all aspects of French
language and culture. The result is that you leave university
with a high standard of fluency in the language, both written and
spoken, and with a wide knowledge of major aspects of French
literature, culture and society. The development of reading,
analytical, and critical skills, in the form of both oral tasks and
written exercises, forms an integral part of this course.
Course content
Language instruction – including computer-based elements –
forms the backbone of the teaching programme. Students are
expected to progress to a high level of competence in the four
basic linguistic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
This includes nurturing an ability to cope with different registers
and styles of written and spoken French and to reflect critically
on the way the language is used and structured. Examples of
optional subjects available over the course of the four years
include French linguistics, literature, ideas and politics.
