Course summary

Not only does advanced study of a Modern Language equip you with a life-long skill, you will further come to appreciate the history, culture and customs of the target language culture. The A-Level MFL course helps you to consolidate key grammatical structures learnt at GCSE and then apply them in increasingly authentic contexts. The course is delivered through a mixture of debate, contemporary music, literature and film, with the aim of unpicking French, Italian and Spanish culture. You will also have the opportunity to explore areas of personal interest through an independent research project in Year 13. An A-Level in a Modern Language is highly regarded by the best universities and opens doors to an elite group of native English speakers with proficiency in a second language. Students with an A-Level in a Modern Language go on to study a range of subjects at university, and this subject complements art, humanities and science subjects equally.
