What the college says

If you want to speak with increasing spontaneity and understanding, all in small supportive groups, this is an ideal choice for you. Your learning in French will be focused around stimulating topics such as the media (music and film), French speaking countries, the multicultural society, contemporary issues, crime, politics, as well as a book and a film. You will undertake a research project of your very own choice to present as part of your speaking. French opens the door to range of universities and apprenticeships in any multi-national company. As a sought-after qualification, it is particularly useful for those looking for an edge in a global market as well as travel or work internationally and combines well with other options. Students have progressed on to courses in Languages or Translation, as well as Medicine, Environmental Studies, Politics, Travel and Tourism, Engineering and Retail.
