Overview
French is the international language of cooking, fashion, theatre, the visual arts, dance and architecture. A knowledge of French offers access to great works of literature, films and songs in their original language. In addition to demonstrating understanding and mastery of the content and skills specific to the study, students may also develop soft skills such as communication, initiative, problem solving, teamwork, planning, organising and self-management, which are highly valued by international enterprises.
