What will I learn?
In the BEd degree teacher training programme for the subject of French, students deal with the French language, literature and the cultural aspects of the French speech area. Students hone their language skills, including listening, reading, oral and writing skills.

Why Salzburg?
The Department of Romance Studies at the University of Salzburg offers students an excellent student-to-staff ratio. Native speakers allow students an authentic access to the French language and cultural areas. Moreover, studying French in Salzburg is particularly attractive due to the department’s large number of Erasmus partnerships (with Bordeaux, Dijon, Montpellier and Paris, amongst others).
