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.
Being able to speak a language increases a student’s employability because language students typically combine academic qualifications with a range of other skills, including excellent oral and written communication skills, independence and self-confidence.
Among the universities to which students have progressed are Cardiff, Swansea, Bristol, Bath, Exeter, London (King’s, UCL, University of London Institute in Paris) and Oxford.

GCSE profile to include French and English at grade B.
