Course summary
By studying French/Mathematics, at Aberystwyth University, you will become an all-round expert in many aspects of France and other French-speaking countries and simultaneously explore the language of mathematics which underpins much of the modern world. Both departments aim to create a friendly, open and supportive learning environment which enables you to reach your full potential.The combination of French with Mathematics allows you to develop the skills that are highly sought after by employers, across a range of industries.There is a wide range of expertise available within the Department of Modern Languages and this is reflected in the module choices we offer. You could choose modules on linguistics (both modern and historical); dialectical (the study of different forms of French, past and present); literature; the history of ideas and artistic movements; literary representations of Paris, travel literature and current affairs. The module options in the Department of Mathematics will provide you with the opportunity to uncover a discipline that combines the identification and analysis of shapes and patterns with the ability to confidently analyse data.Throughout the four years you will receive four weekly hours of language work which includes oral, written, aural and translational aspects of French. First year modules may include European film, algebra, calculus, probability, culture and politics of language across Europe. You will have the option to study specialised language modules, statistical modelling, hydrodynamics, francophone society and an independent research project. In your third year, you will take part in your year abroad where you will study with our partner universities under the Erasmus programme. The fourth year will involve the study of semantics and lexicography, cultural and artistic movements, French literature and a compulsory independent research project. We assess our students in variety of ways depending on the modules. In our language classes, you will be assessed through continuous assessments and an exam at the end of Year 1 and Year 4. Our elective and compulsory modules are assessed through coursework in the format of a presentation and/or essay and an examination. Studying for a degree in French and Mathematics will equip you with a range of transferable skills which are highly valued by employers. These include: the ability to express ideas and communicate information in a clear, structured manner both written and orally, effective problem-solving, researching and creative thinking skills. You will also develop your ability to work independently, manage your time and organise yourself effectively in order to meet deadlines. Throughout this degree scheme your self-motivation and self-reliance will increase; you will grow in confidence working as a team to discuss concepts, accommodate different ideas and reach agreement. Your year abroad will also improve your confidence and ability to think independently. Previous graduates of this course have found employment in many sectors including the following: statistical consultancy, teaching, accountancy and banking, risk analysis and actuarial work, financial management and investment analysis, information technology and data science, interpretation, translation and marketing and communications.
