Why study French at university?

• It’s Canada’s other official language
• Learn to communicate effectively
• Develop your critical skills
• Broaden your cultural horizons
• Give yourself an edge when applying for a job

French is the first language of about a quarter of Canada’s population. Given this demographic situation, proficiency in Canada’s two official languages, French and English, is an undeniable asset in today’s job market.

University students today know that the world awaiting them after graduation is much different from the world of their parent's generation. 

Globalization, downsizing and rapid technological change have radically altered the career landscape. Faced with these challenges, students are perhaps more concerned now than ever about making the right choices in their education.

One of these choices is French at the university level. If you are looking for an exciting, varied and challenging program allowing you to combine literature with language, consider a program in French.
