Course summary

An A-Level in a Modern Foreign Language is an asset, as language graduates are highly employable and versatile. They can pursue a diverse range of careers including Business, Law, Education and the Media. Language qualifications are highly valued by universities for their academic rigour. What will I learn on this course? In the first year of A-Level you will explore and discuss the topics of social issues and trends and artistic culture in the countries where the language is spoken. In the second year you will learn to express and defend your views on social issues and trends together with the study of political and artistic culture. Grammar will also be taught intensively in both years of the course. You will also study a novel and a film in the target language.

Entry requirements

You need to have achieved a grade 6 in Spanish GCSE to be considered for these courses. Students will also need to demonstrate their commitment and interest in the chosen subject. A willingness to travel to a country where the target language is spoken will also help.
