Studying at the University of Freiburg can give your French an additional practical boost – our proximity to France is the ideal opportunity for excursions and journeys of discovery through the Alsace, which has been so important to the history of Europe. In just a short time you can be in the beautiful university cities of Strasbourg or Mulhouse, where you can study in parallel easily and without hassle thanks to the Eucor – The European Campus program.

This course of study concentrates on the French language, literature, and culture in their historical and sociocultural context. It is thus divided into two main areas: linguistics and literary and cultural studies. Courses in these areas provide students with the necessary skills for academic study of the francophone world as well as general philological skills such as literary interpretation and academic writing (analytical reading, writing one’s own texts). In addition, the curriculum also includes language courses designed to help students achieve fluency in oral and written French. Since French studies are part of larger area of Romance philology, students are also required to acquire basic skills in at least one other Romance language.

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.
