Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world. Studying Spanish will allow you to develop and build on the skills acquired at GCSE. You will gain a much deeper insight into Hispanic culture and society and gain a sound base for further study of the language at university. Spanish has emerged as the most important language for the UK in an analysis made by the British Council. Considered one of the easiest language to learn, it will enhance employment prospects as well as facilitate foreign travel. With an ever increasing presence in the global market, emerging economies in South and Central America mean that the chance of work and business opportunities for those with Spanish knowledge are increasing.
All candidates will be expected to have gained at least a grade 6 at GCSE (grade 7 or better recommended) in order to have a realistic chance of success in this qualification. A genuine interest in Spanish culture and society will also help.
