This course of study focuses on the language, literature, and media culture of areas of the world in which French is spoken, e.g., France in Europe, Morocco in Africa, and Quebec in Canada. Special emphasis is placed on various forms of media, such as print media, film, electronic media, and the Internet. Students learn how to select appropriate media for particular purposes, take a critical stance on media issues, and orient themselves in the flood of information we are confronted with every day. This requires a familiarity with the historical and societal background of the francophone world, and of course also with the language. Students thus also receive intensive training in spoken and written French as well as translation.

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
