French at KTH
Language skills and global skills are an asset in many professions and a prerequisite for working successfully in our globalised society. French is one of the EU's working languages and is spoken on all continents, not least in Africa, a continent showing very strong growth and development potential.
Why learn French?
There are 274 million French-speaking people around the world, with 84 countries included in the OIF (International Orgnisation of Francophonie). French is the fifth most spoken language in the world and one of the EU's three working languages. Several major French companies are well established in Europe and offer interesting job opportunities. More than half of the French-speaking people in the world live and work in Africa, a fact that offers opportunities for new, valuable collaborative projects. For these reasons, our French courses are internationally oriented, which faciliates professional exchange, student mobility, and project opportunities in French-speaking developing countries.
