About this course
Many of our students continue their study of languages at university and can look forward to careers in translating, interpreting and teaching. As well as being the official language of Spain and 19 Latin American nations, in the USA also there are over 34 million Spanish speakers. Spanish opens up not only the real Spain, but gives access to Latin America, with its vast potential for economic development and tourism.
More and more students in other fields (e.g. sciences, music, and technology) are also studying a foreign language as career prospects expand in Europe and the wider world. Your first smart career move could be to get another language at A Level!
Among the universities to which students have progressed are Oxford, Cardiff, Swansea, Bristol, Bath and Exeter.
Speaking another language increases employability, improves communication skills, independence and self-confidence.
GCSE profile to include a grade B in Spanish and English.
