Learning at least one foreign language in the Sixth Form is the norm in many countries. The ability to speak a range of modern languages is highly valued by employers and corporations in the UK and abroad, and it is one of the few abilities learnt in schools that can feature as a standalone skill on anyone’s CV. Many global companies and organisations like Goldman Sachs, United Nations, NATO or UNESCO, to name a few, put languages at the centre of their recruitment process. An A Level in Modern Languages is a highly regarded qualification in the UK and abroad. The course offers excellent opportunities to develop language skills and gain a first hand experience of the culture of the countries where your language of study is spoken.
Places are offered subject to candidates' achieving a minimum of 42 grade points on the best seven GCSEs including English and Maths. Normally we would expect at least a grade 7 (or an A grade) in each subject to be studied in the Lower Sixth and at least a 6 (or a B grade) in English and Maths.
• Paper 1: Listening, Reading and Translation (40%). • Paper 2: Writing and Translation (30%) • Paper 3: Speaking (30%)
