French and History - BA (Hons)

French is a major international language. It's the first language of more than 100 million people across the world, while more than 60 million people speak French as a second language. Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s). Studying with us will give you the chance to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working, andor studying in another country. Studying history - the story of humanity through the ages - develops your knowledge of the past and gives you a better understanding of the present. Throughout your studies, you'll receive excellent training in areas such as problem-solving, communication, research methods and interpretation. Our classes cover some of the most important and interesting historical periods at home and abroad, including Scotland's 'Highland Problem' in the 16th Century, Slavery in World History and Cold War Europe, 1945-1991. Ranked 1st in the UK for French (Daily Mail University Guide 2026); Ranked Top 10 in the UK for History (The Guardian 2026). This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme.  With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences. The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability.   You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form.  Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects.  Only one application will be considered.  This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus.   https:www.strath.ac.ukhumanitiesundergraduateflexiblebadegree    Every one of our flexible BA options gives students the chance to gain valuable professional experience as part of a credit-bearing work placement class in their third or fourth year.  Learn more about placements-
