Course summary
- Over 70% of our staff are native speakers, teaching you in French in 'language' classes as well as most 'culture' classes. - You will experience between 3 and 6 hours of French grammar and conversation every week (at post A-Level or beginners' level), in order to reach near-native precision and fluency. This will run in parallel with optional course units on French and Francophone history, politics, literature, popular culture and/or linguistics, from the Early Modern period to the present. - You will benefit from our long-established partnership with the Alliance Française de Manchester with cultural events throughout the year, such as film screenings, talks, plays, concerts, exhibitions and intensive language classes.- You will also benefit from our collaboration with the Institut de Touraine in the Loire Valley, which hosts Easter and Summer French language classes that are appropriate for anyone from beginners to finalists. - Our range and quality of courses are regularly cited for praise by external examiners and three colleagues have won University Teaching Excellence Awards.
Japanese- You will follow a Japanese Studies curriculum through which you will learn about Japan-related topics in historical, linguistic, cultural, religious and other contexts, drawing on the wide range of research carried out by staff in Japanese Studies. - The course centres on a core framework in Year 1 but some choice of course units from Year 2 onwards will enable you to focus on areas of interest in the study of Japan and East Asia. - Japanese Studies at Manchester is taught by a diverse team of academic specialists in the field. - The course gives you the opportunity to build on existing knowledge of the language or study it as a beginner.The course unit details listed below are those you may choose to study as part of this programme and are referred to as optional units. These are subject to change and are the latest example of the curriculum available on this programme. Although language units may show here as optional, they are a mandatory part of your modern languages degree and you will take the units relevant to your level of language in each year of study. It is compulsory to study language at all levels of your modern languages degree.
