By choosing to study French, students embrace variety and adventure. Whilst refining students’ skills in spoken and written French, the course also samples from a vast array of other disciplines, including sociology, literature, film studies, linguistics, history, music, philosophy and politics. Students will also undertake a research project, over which they have complete freedom of choice. French A Level is not just about “holiday French” (though it’s great for that too); it is about exploring all the many facets of the French-speaking world, from France to North Africa and beyond. A glorious blend of academic and practical skills, French A Level is for the curious, the ambitious and the open-minded.
Students wishing to do French A-level should have taken Higher Tier French GCSE. If a student is applying for a course in a subject that they have studied at GCSE it is expected that they would have achieved at least a standard pass (grade 4) in that subject. Achieving a grade 6 or higher in GCSE French is desirable.
