Why study Modern Foreign Languages(French/Spanish)?
The subject provides opportunities to develop language skills and general knowledge through student focused assessment. With an element of personal choice and a wide range of appealing content and opportunities, the course allows students to gain a greater understanding of other cultures, as the courses allow a focus on France and Spain but also all other French and Spanish speaking countries. Grammar is studied alongside the various themes.
Studying a language helps students to become well-informed and effective communicators.

What career opportunities are there?
Languages are recognised as being intellectually challenging, and both universities and employers look more favourably at potential candidates who have a language. European languages are the key to European communication and you can combine a language with any other field of study at university, allowing you to study abroad as part of your degree. If you continue to study a language you will have the opportunity to follow some of the most prestigious international business courses universities have to offer. Here are just a few possible career fields: International sales and marketing, Investment banking, Law, Education, Government / European Parliament, Journalism, Travel and Tourism.
