Overview

 

 

Europe is not just a geographical space – it’s a cultural, political and social entity. European Studies allows you to adopt a range of approaches from different disciplines to deepen your understanding of this complex region. Core and optional modules will give you a good understanding of political ideas and the institutions and political systems that make up modern Europe, as well as specialist knowledge of topics that interest you, such as development or the rise of extreme right parties.

French at Leeds allows you to become fluent in a major world language while gaining an insight into the literature, theatre, cinema, history and politics of the Francophone world. Core modules will develop your language skills and introduce you to key aspects of Francophone culture. You’ll then choose from an impressive range of optional modules on topics as diverse as medieval romances, the French Revolution, postcolonial cinema and Francophone Africa.
