Objectives

This subject will allow students to undertake study in the domain of French Studies at a French or French-speaking university with which Monash has an exchange agreement. On completion of this unit students will have improved their overall linguistic skills in French with special reference to language for higher study and research. They will have learnt to negotiate the specific culture and institutional structures of the French and French-speaking university system. They will have achieved and satisfied the requirements of the subjects they have chosen to study and which have been approved for study in the host institution. They will thereby have furthered their knowledge and research skills in the area of French Studies.

Assessment

Students will undertake the assessment tasks for the units in which they enrol at the host institution. On their return to Monash, students must submit to the honours coordinator the assignments completed for assessment in France, together with an attestation of attendance and any examination results.
