Why Warwick

About the department

The English and French degree at Warwick gives you the opportunity to explore connections and interactions between two major literary and cultural traditions, developing your linguistic and analytical skills in close dialogue. This degree offers a rich range of modules, reflecting the diverse cultures, histories, and societies of the English- and French-speaking worlds.

You will graduate as a highly qualified linguist and literary specialist, with advanced intercultural skills and a sophisticated understanding of key concepts and debates in two Arts disciplines. The specialist communication, research, critical and evaluative skills you will gain are all highly sought after by employers.

Explore two rich and diverse cultural traditions while developing your fluency in the French language and your expertise in English literature, exploring the connections between the two.

French can be taken from Beginner, Post-Beginner or Advanced level.

First-year core modules will introduce you to French language, literature and culture, English literature, and comparative literatures. In your intermediate and final years, all English and French optional modules are open to you. Topics range from literature and critical theory to history, politics, linguistics, philosophy and film. In your final year, you can choose to write a dissertation, including the option to write on a comparative topic addressing both French and English literature.

Your second or third year is normally spent abroad, either as a language assistant, or working or studying at one of our partner universities. This is an invaluable opportunity to immerse yourself in the linguistic and cultural contexts where French is spoken, enhance your language skills and build international connections.

You will have access to outstanding facilities and resources. This includes flexible collaborative and individual learning spaces, as well as a vast selection of print, digital and multimedia learning materials.

You will graduate as a highly qualified linguist with advanced intercultural skills, a deep understanding of key issues and developments in the past and present of Francophone cultures, and an advanced knowledge of French, English, and comparative literatures.

On the English side of your degree, you will take ‘Modes of Reading’, a module that focuses on questions of approach, critical practice, and reading strategies. You will additionally choose one English module in your first year, from a list of three: ‘Epic into Novel’; ‘Medieval and Early Modern Literature’; or ‘Modern World Literatures’.

In your intermediate and final years, you will further develop your French language skills in more advanced language classes, and you will be able to develop your own particular interests in Francophone culture by choosing from a wide selection of modules taught by specialists in French culture, society, literature, politics, philosophy, film, and history.

Tuition fee

For the 2027-28 academic year, the UK government announced in March 2026 that the tuition fee cap for UK undergraduate students for the 2027-28 academic year would be £10,050.

If you are joining Warwick for the 2026-27 academic year, the University of Warwick’s Executive Board has confirmed a change in fees to £9,790 (from the 2025-26 rate of £9,535), following the UK government announcement in November 2025 to increase in the tuition fee cap for Home students for the 2026-27 academic year.

Students who qualify for government-regulated fees are classed as ‘Home’ students for fees purposes. In future years, fees for continuing students may be subject to an increase in fees in line with any inflationary uplift as determined by the UK Government (if permitted by law or government policy).

If you receive an offer, your fee status will be clearly stated alongside the tuition fee information.

If you believe that your fee status has been classified incorrectly, you can complete a fee status assessment questionnaire. Please follow the instructions in your offer information and provide the documents needed to reassess your status.
