combining or not?

ive applied to do french studies, but was thinking of combining it with management, do you think it is better to simply do a language so you become more fluent in it or better to combine it with something else?

yes, the thread that lottie mentioned will help you out a bit. also, you are probably likely to be just as fluent combining with something as doing single honours in one language, because with single honurs, the majority of modules you will be doing will be made up of history/culture/literature etc. so if this is the kind of thing that interests you, do a language, if you are more interested in the linguistic side and want to broadenyour horizons, i would do management or something rather than french alone.

Whether you take French as a single honours degree or with management, your fluency won't be affected because you'll take the same amount of language modules. If you take single honours, you'll be studying more literature, history etc, whereas if you combine it with management, you'll take less of those and management modules as well. French and management would probably give you better career prospects, but it depends where your interests lie.

Either way you'd be fluent so it depends what you're really into. If you were thinking of taking French studies with the aim of entering management in the future you'd probably be better of doing 2 languages at least as this will improve your career prospects. Otherwise French and management would probably be "better" in terms of career propsects.
