Overview

Studying the BA French and Journalism, Media and Communication (Hons) at The University of Strathclyde will give you the chance to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working and/or studying in another country.

From crises in the Middle East to the economic and political situation at home, journalism informs our view of the world and shapes our decisions.
