Program overview
The Bachelor of Arts - World Languages and Cultures - French at Trinity Western University’s Langley campus in British Columbia is a 4 year bachelor's-degree program building genuine proficiency in world languages and their cultures.
Students develop advanced language competence alongside cultural and literary study, with French and other streams, producing the bilingual and multilingual graduates Canadian employers actively shortlist.
TWU teaches in small, professor-led classes on a 157-acre residential campus about 45 minutes from Vancouver, and is a provincially chartered member of Universities Canada — so the credential is fully recognised for employment and further study. Uniquely among Canadian universities, international students pay the same tuition as domestic students, and three intakes a year (September, January and May for many programs) keep start dates flexible.
Because this is a full bachelor’s degree, graduates are exempt from Canada’s post-2024 PGWP field-of-study restriction and may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years (final decision rests with IRCC).
