Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in History and French (with a year abroad)

Program Overview

Delve into studies of the past, exploring French languages and cultures as you go. Spend a year abroad and discover new ways of viewing the world.

At York, you can choose:

a degree combining two languages (you can study one of these as a beginner, ‘ab initio’).
a degree combining one language and another subject.

We have a distinctive approach to studying languages. From the start, you'll be taught in the language you are learning. Our expert staff, many of whom are first language speakers, will support you to develop your fluency and communication skills rapidly. If you choose a language as a beginner (ab initio), you’ll join post-A level students in your second year. You’ll be amazed how much you can achieve.

You'll join two departments which are highly respected for their research, scholarship and teaching. Combining French studies with History will allow you to uncover the forces that have shaped modern societies and cultures, as well as the issues prevalent today in French-speaking countries. You'll graduate with an exciting perspective of history and your place in the world.

You’ll join a vibrant modern languages community, with regular language and community events and talks. We’re a highly international department, and have excellent partnerships with other universities and organisations which you can work with during your year abroad.

If you want to extend your language learning even further, you can choose elective modules from a wide range of languages or take extracurricular classes as part of our Languages for All programme.
