As a student of French at McMaster, you’ll be immersing yourself in one of Canada’s official languages, and one of the most widespread languages in the world, spoken by millions in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, North America and Asia. With our concentration on “Francophonie et Diversité” (the Francophone World and Diversity), you’ll also be introduced to the rich literary and cultural traditions of French-speaking communities.
The language of instruction and communication in the Department is French, which will enable you to increase your fluency. Each year, we welcome language assistants from France who help our students to hone their skills. Students will also have the opportunity to spend their third year of the program on exchange at a university in France or Quebec. |
