BA Hons English and French

The Combined Honours programme offers you an opportunity to study two subjects at degree level, enabling you to benefit from high quality teaching across more than one subject. English is a well-established humanities discipline that explores the role of writing in defining and transforming human experience. Creative writing is a contemporary art practice that expresses that experience. At the Manchester campus, the English department has access to a community of internationally renowned writers and critics through the Manchester Writing School, one of the most successful of its kind in the UK. It boasts over 85 published graduates and its Creative Director is the Poet Laureate, Professor Carol Ann Duffy DBE. Proficiency in modern languages will give you the competitive edge in the global jobs market. In both the private and public sectors, there is demand for professionals with strong language skills who can work in culturally diverse environments. Studying French at Manchester Met will give you the opportunity to learn from native speakers.
