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 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.
