MembershipMembership of the AUPHF is open to all Professors of French and to Heads of French Departments or Sections in the UK and Ireland, or to those who have an equivalent leadership role in the discipline. We have served our subject community for over 60 years and hope to do so even more effectively in the future with the support and membership of all of its leaders.

About UsWhat makes AUPHF distinctive within French Studies is not only its breadth, embracing the whole range of the discipline in UK and Irish HEIs today, but its role in bringing together those with leadership roles in the subject. It provides opportunities for us to share experiences and perspectives, and to lobby collectively in the interest of French and francophone studies in partnership with other subject-specific organisations, in ways that support institutional and broader HEI strategy and support for modern languages.
