The ability to speak a foreign language is a hugely important life skill; languages allow you to broaden your horizons, develop your communication skills and enhance your job prospects. Languages are the perfect example of facilitating subjects; they combine extremely well with other subjects or can be studied in their own right. Every year British companies lose out on business due to a lack of language skills among the population which means that language graduates are hugely in demand. If you have a love of languages, of how they work and in discovering more about the history and culture of the countries of those languages, then this is the course for you. Most importantly of all, learning a language is fun and can be a life-enriching experience. Many people, later in life, speak of their regret at not continuing with a language they enjoyed at GCSE. Don't let that be you!
