What the college says

The Advanced GCE in French has been designed to encourage a love of learning French and is ideal for those students interested in engaging with the changing social, historical and political context and culture of France and other francophone countries. The qualification encourages students to engage with modern French society through the reading and analysis of French literature and cinema as well as encouraging them to educate themselves on the traditions, customs and culture of the wider Francophone world.
