ATS3849 Build your own project in French studies

The unit allows students to build on the critical and analytical skills acquired through French Studies core units by developing a research project tailored to their disciplinary interests. Students are encouraged to pursue in consultation with the unit coordinator a topic of their choice.

For instance, students with an interest in French film could undertake a research project on any particular director, genre, or theme in French cinema. Students interested in contemporary France, could undertake a project on the current debate regarding Islam in French society or the narrative construct around Republican values. Throughout the unit, students are exposed to research methodologies and approaches. They will be guided throughout their project by staff and peers to a successful completion of the project. This finished project could conceivably form a strong basis for further studies at Honours level.
