French is a major world language spoken in more than 40 countries. It is the language most widely learned in English-speaking countries and a major scientific, cultural and commercial language. Students preparing for international careers in government, industry, the arts, education, business and marketing and the diplomatic world will find French a logical choice.
Pre/Corequisite(s):
Only French 1A has no prerequisites. The prerequisites for proceeding to 1B, 2B, 3B and 4B are respectively 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A courses.
Assumed knowledge:
Students who have completed the beginners stream (1A and 1B) or have studied French at Stage 2 level of the SACE certificate or equivalent must enrol in French 2A.

Notes
- French is available as a major (8 courses), sub-major (6 courses) and a minor (4 courses) to both ‘beginners’ and ‘continuing’ students (eg SACE Stage 2 French or equivalent). To complete a major/sub-major as a beginner with little or no previous knowledge of French, students normally enrol in French 1A and 1B in their first year and choose a further 4 or 6 Level 2 and 3 French courses in subsequent years. Students who have completed SACE Stage 2 French or equivalent normally enrol in French 2A and 2B in their first year and complete their major/sub-major from the list of Level 2 or 3 French courses in subsequent years.
- French Studies can also be combined with approved courses from International Studies and taken toward a major/sub-major in Languages and Culture Studies — see Languages and Culture Studies major.
-
The offering of some Level 3 courses will be subject to a minimum number of enrolments and these may be offered in alternate years.
