French Honours IV normally comprises:

(a) two coursework components worth 40% in all;

(b) thesis of 12-15,000 words, written in French, worth 50%; and

(c) other thesis-related work, worth 10%.

It has become common practice for students to spend one semester of the Honours Year at a French or Francophone University, undertaking an approved program of study. For the other semester they complete the other requirements (thesis, dissertations etc) for Honours in French. Those students who cannot spend a semester in France should see the Convener for further information regarding coursework arrangements and requirements.
