NUI Galway, French

Welcome to the Department of French

The Department of French teaches a wide range of undergraduate courses related to France, and French and Francophone cultures across several Faculties. This includes written and oral language courses, literature, civilisation, linguistics, and other modules which develop students' understanding of French and Francophone culture. The language of instruction is mainly French. Postgraduate courses are offered by course and by research in the Faculty of Arts. There are approximately 600 students of French, 9 full-time posts, 8 language assistants and 6 part-time teaching assistants. Members of the Department are active in a number of areas of research, including 17th-Century Studies, Travel Literature, Medieval Literature, Autobiography, Francophone Literatures (Québec, Antilles), History and Politics of French Decolonisation, History and Sociology of French Sport and Leisure, 19th-Century French Studies, Gender Studies, Translation, French Language Teaching and New Technologies, Literature and Spirituality.

We have five reciprocal exchanges of language assistants with universities in France, as well as a wide range of student exchanges under ERASMUS with ten universities in France and two in Belgium. In addition, English Language Assistant posts are on offer within the primary/secondary education system in France as part of the Franco-Irish Language Assistant scheme.
