This section sets out why studying this programme is important, both in terms of inspiring you as an individual and in considering the challenges we face. It describes how this degree programme contributes to:
Theatre and French are complementary subjects that are mutually reinforcing. The Joint Honours programme allows students to enrich their understanding of Theatre and Performance through the study of French culture and language, and vice versa. This programme provides an opportunity for those students who wish to pursue studies in both subjects. Students spend half of their time in each Department, and are taught separately in each subject. In Theatre, students follow a comparable developmental path to Single Honours students but take fewer practical options (some practical units are still available to Joint Honours students). Students spend their third year studying or working in a French-speaking country, enriching their cultural knowledge and exposing them to diverse learning opportunities. Students conclude their Theatre and Performance studies in their fourth year.
The theatre component is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of performance/theatre, and to equip them to use the critical, theoretical and practical skills central to the discipline. Through historical and conceptual study, the programme enables students to analyse, research, interpret and understand performance/theatre from a critically and contextually informed perspective, and in certain options such as Melodrama, make comparative and cross-disciplinary connections. In addition to detailed and rigorous critical, historical and theoretical enquiry, the students also explore practical and creative approaches in some options. Final-year students will select independent study options, in which they can gain experience working in the creative industries, develop a practical project of their own devising, or produce an extended piece of scholarly writing. Having gained a combination of specialised and transferable skills, students are well-equipped to pursue a range of careers relating to the contemporary creative industries and arts-related professions, and within academic, professional and managerial sectors.
The study of French language is a central component in all years – students have three hours of language tuition per week. In the first year students take the same combination of French units, providing a grounding in the three main areas of the Department's work: language, cultural production and society. In the second year students choose from a range of optional units, allowing them to weight their studies more heavily towards literature, visual culture or society eg: The French Novel, French Drama, French Medieval and Renaissance Literature. The third year is spent abroad in a French speaking country and students have to write a dissertation in French on a cultural topic related to the location of their placement. In the final year students make an informed choice of units on the basis of their experience.

This section describes what is expected from you at each level of your programme. This illustrates increasing intellectual standards as you progress through the programme. These levels are mapped against the national level descriptors published by the Quality Assurance Agency.
Level C/4 - Certificate |
Theatre component: Year 1 is introductory, providing a foundation for second and third year learning and for fulfilling the programme’s outcomes. Students gain familiarity with performance forms, key theories and concepts, contexts and ways of analysing theatre and performance. Through workshops, practical skills are acquired, in theatre production, reading a script for performance and staging a play for an audience. In addition, students develop their ability to discuss issues and write critically about the arts in a broader cultural context, in dialogue with film and music students on the Criticism in the Arts unit. French component: Year 1 of the course has been expressly designed to lay the foundations, both in terms of subject-specific knowledge and skills and in terms of more general skills and abilities, which will allow students to fulfil the curriculum's aims and objectives. Core units in language are geared to help students progress in the consolidation and development of their A-level (or equivalent) language skills. Mandatory non-language units cover some of the main themes and concepts of French culture, familiarising students with the literature and political/social backcloth of France and thereby introducing them to the key areas of study offered in the curriculum. This will enable students to make informed choices between the optional units available in future years and provide a sound basis for study in Level I. The expectation is that their work will require considerable direction from members of staff at this stage. |
---|---|
Level I/5 - Intermediate |
Theatre component: In their second year students take two lecture and seminar units, which expand their contextual and historical, cultural and political frameworks for understanding theatre and performance. Students deepen their understanding of performance forms, genres or periods through optional units, which draw on expertise from staff research and enable a focus on particular theatre practices. In these options, which are taught across Level I/5 and H/6, students are expected to improve their skills in both creative, collaborative practice and their ability to reflect critically and theoretically. Students’ capacity for self-directed learning is also developed, which is necessary preparation for Level H/6 (e.g. through researching longer essays, devising and realising group performance projects). French: In Year 2, students are expected to be able to demonstrate that, in both mandatory and optional units, they have expanded the range and depth of their knowledge and also their capacity to evaluate their work. The topics explored and source materials consulted will be of greater depth and substance. Students will develop their analytical skills, their ability to structure their work and to expound it effectively with the increased requirement for seminar presentation. Language work will be of a higher level of complexity and students will develop their capacity to work accurately and creatively with French. They will be encouraged in group-work skills through active participation in seminars. They will be acquiring a heightened capacity for self-directed learning (for example, through the researching and writing of coursework assignments).<br. In Year 3, students will develop their command of spoken and written French during the mandatory period of residence abroad in a French-speaking country when they either follow a formal programme of instruction at an academic institution, take up an approved placement in a business or administrative organisation or take part in the British Council Teaching Assistantship scheme. Their linguistic, critical, research and presentational skills will also be enhanced through the writing of dissertations in French during the year. |
Level H/6 - Honours |
Theatre component: In the final year, students choose two supervised independent study options: written dissertation, practical performance project, extended essay and/or work placement. They develop their individual interests, and conceive self-directed projects that prepare them for professional contexts or postgraduate study. Students produce longer essays, are expected to formulate more nuanced and sophisticated arguments, refine their ability to gather and assimilate information, and should be confident using more advanced theory. Their knowledge of forms, genres and practices becomes deeper and they are expected to produce more professional, conceptually-informed creative practice. Their knowledge and understanding (15A) should be in depth and advanced, they should show a mastery of intellectual and creative attributes (15B), demonstrate self-motivation, effective collaborative working, independent thinking and a range of transferable skills (15C). French: In Year 4, students are expected to expand the breadth of their knowledge through the study of optional units that allow them to pursue more closely their particular areas of interest. These units are more directly linked to staff research specialisms. Students are thereby able to benefit from a wide range of expertise at the cutting-edge of research that not only enhances their intellectual development but also serves actively to foster in them a research culture. Students will be expected to develop their ability to gather and assimilate information, synthesise it in an appropriately informed way, and engage in sophisticated evaluation of primary texts. These skills will have been enhanced through the heightened command of the French language acquired during the mandatory period of residence in a French-speaking country. |

UG Workload Statement
Success as an undergraduate student depends on you being able to make the transition to self-motivated, independent learning. Programmes are designed to assist you in this development, in many cases by starting with units in which timetabled teaching, such as lectures and practical classes, provides the foundations of knowledge and skills in a subject, moving on to individual research-based work. Over time you will be expected to take increasing responsibility for your own learning, guided by the feedback on your work that you will receive. At the heart of your studies at every level there must be regular and disciplined individual reading, reflection and writing and it is this skill of independent studies, above all others, that will serve you best when you leave the University.
Most programmes use credits and a 20 credit unit broadly equates to about 200 hours of student input. This includes all activities related to the teaching, learning and assessment of taught units.
A component of this is the time that you spend in class, in contact with the teaching staff, which includes activities such as lectures, laboratories, tutorials and fieldwork. Some of this activity may be online and could consist of activity that is synchronous (using real-time environments such as Blackboard Collaborate) or asynchronous (using tools such as tutor moderated discussion forums, blogs or wikis).
In some programmes there are field courses and/or placements that will take place in concentrated periods of time.
Outside scheduled activities you are expected to pursue your own independent learning to build your knowledge and understanding of the subjects you are studying. Such independent activities include, reviewing lecture material, reading textbooks, working on examples sheets, completing coursework, writing up laboratory notes, preparing for in-class progress tests and revising for examinations.
We recognise that many students undertake paid employment. To achieve a sensible balance between work and study, you are advised to undertake paid work for no more than 15 hours per week in term-time.
Professional Programmes
Many undergraduates in the Faculty of Health Sciences will be following the professional programmes of:
For these professional programmes, full time attendance is compulsory unless absence is formally approved. Academic activities are timetabled throughout the 5-day week and student workload is around 40 hours per week on average. Where possible, students in the early years are permitted Wednesday afternoons for sport and extra-curriculum activities. This may not be available in later years of professional programmes as when a student progresses through the curricula there is an increasing exposure to clinical and professional activities. Students in clinic or on placements may need to stay later than core times of 08.00 – 18.00 or even overnight to observe out-of-hours activities. This increasing exposure to clinical activities means that students on these professional programmes often have longer term dates than the University standard. Individual years within programmes are likely to vary in length (for example because of the timings of placements) and further information on this will be found in individual programme regulations. Another important point to note is that many of the assessments sit outside of the standard University examination timetable and are likely to be more frequent meaning that students will more oftentimes be engaged in revision activities and self-directed learning.

This new programme emerges out of the existing Drama and French Degree and enables the continuity of this Joint provision.
Honours Degree programmes involving French and another subject require mandatorily that one year (Year Three) be spent abroad in a French-speaking country. Many students opt to take an assistantship in a French school under a scheme organised by the British Council. The French Department has ERASMUS exchange agreements with universities in, Paris, Bordeaux, Aix en Provence, Toulouse, Poitiers, La Réunion and Geneva. A number of placements or stages are also taken up; some placements are recurrently available to Bristol students while others are arranged anew each year. The French Department, thanks to its size with 14 full-time teaching staff, is able to offer a rich array of internal pathways for students to follow. All the pathways place an emphasis on the development of language skills and the enhancement of the students' knowledge and expertise in a variety of genres and periods of culture selected from the wide range available. The Department has always encouraged a strong synergy between research and teaching. This has resulted in the creation and development of a vibrant learning environment for students within the Department, as staff continuously upgrade existing teaching materials and introduce fresh optional units.
A further source of strength in the learning experience of students comes from the interaction between French and other departments. Single honours students will normally follow Additional units taught outside the French Department. In addition, units have consistently been available as options within other departments as well as French. Furthermore, almost all the units figuring in the programme may be followed by students of French within the School of Modern Languages. The School offers a wide variety of joint programmes involving the study of any two of the following languages: Czech, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. There are also joint programmes combining French and Theatre, History of Art, Music, Philosophy, Politics, History and Law. Such students serve to enrich the intellectual environment within which teaching and learning take place within the French Department.
The Theatre and Performance Studies component has been developed out of the existing Drama programme, which has effectively in recent years delivered a balanced curriculum across both film/television and theatre/performance studies. We wish to maintain a degree of cross-disciplinary optionality in the Theatre programme, as well as become open to the provision that becomes available from across the Faculty within Project Arts. Theatre and Performance Studies is by its very nature eclectic and hybrid, developing out of both language and literature studies; and we intend to maintain and develop that porosity.
This new programme will build on the unique and distinctive strengths of Drama as was, the combination of internationally recognized scholarship; innovative practice-as-research conducted in professional contexts; the unique resource of the UOB’s Theatre Collection; and active partnerships at all levels with leading local and national arts-organizations. Teaching fellows will continue to provide practical production skills training, working alongside scholars to deliver performance projects to public audiences. These strengths in combination infuse and inform all the Department’s teaching, and provide its students with a highly distinctive provision: for instance, in terms of opportunities for engagement with archives and primary source materials, and industrial placements with leading artists in their field, such as Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory, Mayfest, Bristol Old Vic and In Between Time Festival of Live Art.
