About the Program

French studies offers the opportunity to develop or strengthen your bilingual advantage while deepening your understanding of language, culture and communication. You'll gain advanced French-language skills, explore the richness of Francophone communities and develop the intercultural competencies needed to thrive in an increasingly connected world. Whether your interests lie in education, communications, business, public service or international opportunities, you'll graduate with skills that can help you stand out in a competitive job market.
As Toronto’s only bilingual university campus, you’ll learn from highly accomplished professors from the international Francophonie in an environment that specializes in language learning.
