Why study modern languages instead of study abroad?

For example, if one is interested in French lit and have done French al, wouldn't it be better for him/her to apply for a French Uni instead of doing a modern language degree in the UK?

You normally need to have native or near native proficiency in the target language to functionally study in a country speaking that language - even if the course is in English you need to live there.

Modern languages degrees are normally designed for those with only A-level standard, or sometimes no background, in the language.

Thank you, and is it possible to do a master of PhD in literature in the target country after a modern languages degree? I know it depends on individual, but what level is supposed to achieve in mod lan, like C1 or C2?

As your first post specifically mentions French I’m taking it that you are hoping to study in France. You would most definitely require a C2 for a masters, and be at the top of the C2 grading to cope with the demands of a « doctorate ».
