A Level German

Course summary

Germany has an incredibly strong economy and a wealth of international links. Its contribution to research, music, art, design, film, dance, philosophy and theatre is considerable. International law, careers in business, science and tourism - German can be studied in combination with just about any other subject at degree level e.g. Engineering, Law, Philosophy, Psychology. German can be a useful additional skill in any career, as it ranks among the top 10 most frequently spoken languages in the world and plays an important role in many countries, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. A modern language is a highly-regarded life skill. Competitive areas such as law, medical schools, management consultancy, accountancy, international press agencies, the media, advertising, the Foreign Office and the performing arts actively seek students with a broad base of A-levels, able to offer a modern foreign language at a higher level. Employers value not only the knowledge of the language and culture, but also the transferrable analytical and organisational skills.
