German

Course summary

German is the most widely spoken language in Europe and with over 16 million internet domains, Germany's top‑level country domain .de is second only to the extension .com. German speakers are in high demand amongst UK employers and German remains the language used in many scientific journals. At A Level it combines well with just about any other subject. Many of our A Level pupils continue with German at university level, where over the past few years many have chosen to combine it with another subject - a second language, History, Law, English, Geography, Economics, History of Art - there are all kinds of possibilities. An A Level in a foreign language also opens up opportunities such as a year abroad on the Turing Scheme or work experience in another country.
