Overview
UCL has a renowned tradition in both teaching and research in French dating back to its foundation in 1826 and continuing to the present day. UCL was the first university in the country to create a chair of French and this was one of the first chairs of any modern language to be established.
Students with a doctorate in French from the Department of French at University College London (UCL) share in this reputation for high-quality scholarship and research.
