Commerce with French / GY 202

Introduction

French is taught in the College of Business, Public Policy & Law at NUIG as part of the B.Comm. (International) programme. The course offered through the CAO system is GY 202 Commerce with French. The programme is of four years duration, year three being spent in a third-level business school or University in France as part of the SOCRATES / ERASMUS programme.

In addition to the points requirement for any given year, students are required to have a grade B3 or better in French at Leaving Certificate Higher Level or equivalent. Entry points in 2011 / 2012 are 475.

Class sizes are small, the intake onto the programme being limited to 15. This allows for a very high level of student-teacher interaction in tutorial size-groups. The number of contact hours per week is 6. Details of modules, assessment and examination arrangements are set out in the course outlines on the School of Languages (French) website. The language component is an integral part of the degree programme and constitutes a “major” stream specialisation.

Graduates are high achievers and go on to work in all areas of the business world being particularly successful in obtaining Graduate Placements in the biggest and most prestigious firms. Many pursue post-graduate studies both in Ireland and in France and some choose to live and work in France or another French speaking country.

The aim of this applied programme over 4 years is the development of excellent written, language and communication skills, a keen understanding of everyday and working life in a modern French speaking environment and an ability to feel at home and do business through the medium of the French language. Students are strongly encouraged to consider a career which incorporates the language expertise and cultural awareness acquired over the course of the four years.
