Higher Certificate In French Literature هذه الدورة تدرس باللغة الإنجليزية

تفاصيل الدورة

The Higher Certificate in French Literature has been developed by the Department of French, Maynooth University to address the needs of those working as teachers of French, graduates of French exploring other career options as well adults with a very good competence in French language who are interested in learning more about the literature and culture of the French-speaking countries.

The Higher Certificate in French Literature aims to

• provide students with an opportunity to specialise in the area of French literature through the study of a broad range of French-language literary texts through history;
• equip students who have little experience of dealing with literary texts with the necessary academic, analytical, creative, aesthetic, reflective and presentation skills to enable them to engage with literature in a productive way;
• enhance students’ knowledge and understanding of important concepts in French-speaking literatures, cultures and societies.

Applicants should normally have obtained an honours degree (extending over at least three years) in which French was a major subject amounting to 30% of the credit value of the course as a whole. Applicants who do not possess this type of qualification may also be admitted under certain circumstances, provided that they have French language competence of at least level B2 (European Framework of Reference for Languages).

All four modules involved in the Higher Certificate in French Literature will be assessed by continuous assessment, which may involve a combination of methods such as essays, presentations at module workshops, or critical analysis of short excerpts from text. Participants will be advised on how to prepare for these and will receive feedback on their progress throughout the course.
