Course summary

An A-Level in a Modern Foreign Language builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills gained at GCSE. The course focuses on the language, culture and society of the different areas of the world where your chosen language is spoken. It fosters a range of valuable transferable skills including communication, critical thinking, research skills and creativity. An A-Level in a Modern Foreign Language facilitates a wide variety of future study and career options. CAREERS A modern foreign language combines well with a wide range of subjects, both at A-Level and degree level, with languages highly valued by universities. Being able to speak another language makes you highly employable in a wide range of careers, as the skills and abilities that you gain from studying a language at A-Level are extremely versatile. According to the British Council, French, German and Spanish are three of the five most important languages for the British to learn. It is often stated that an inability to trade in languages other than British damages the UK’s export performance. This means that employees who use languages at work earn on average 8% more than others. Living in a global multilingual society, the ability to communicate in more than one language has never been more important.
