Fluency in French opens up dynamic and fast-changing parts of the world outside Europe, including North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as parts of the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. A mastery of this language brings with it access to cultural products including world literature and cinema, but also important social, cultural, historical and linguistic debates. The perfection of language skills is at the heart of University of Liverpool's degrees. They also actively foster in students the development of professional skills in French. All Liverpool degrees demand a full intellectual engagement with a wide selection of areas in French studies. As a subject group, they have a strong interest in looking at French in and beyond France, with the expectation that students will look at French in the European context, as well as in the Americas, Africa and Asia. Liverpool also covers French and Francophone culture in a broad historical context that allows students to understand the standing of French language and grasp the various questions of identity linked to being a speaker of French outside France. In addition, Liverpool covers aspects of French studies from various social, historical, visual, literary, filmic and linguistic aspects, ensuring that they not only teach traditional areas of interest but are committed to ensuring students better understand the questions that people are asking themselves across the French-speaking world, from Port-au-Prince to Paris, from Montreal to Marseille, from Guadeloupe to Geneva.
