“ English and French was ideal for me as I always have my nose in a book. What interests me the most about literature is the diverse range of stories that it offers and the fact that it crosses so many different disciplines - through the books I have read I have learnt more about history, philosophy, society and its different cultures. Being able to study French alongside English Literature has also opened up a whole new world of books from the French-speaking world that I previously would not have had access to. ”
- Georgina Ramsay, English and French
