French

Course summary

Spoken in over 29 countries in the world, French is also the most widely taught modern language both nationally and at the College. Its importance is reflected locally, with an increasing number of business partnerships involving French companies. Some students take French and another language at A Level, but an increasing number combine it with many subjects such as Humanities, Business Studies, Law, Politics, or Sciences, reflecting the wide range of opportunities in commerce and for travel abroad. Some students also choose to continue their French studies because of a good GCSE grade, a successful exchange, family holidays to France, or simply because they enjoy speaking the language.
