What the college says

A Level French is an exciting and intellectually stimulating course that builds on the language skills developed at GCSE, while offering a deeper understanding of French-speaking cultures. It equips students with the ability to communicate fluently and confidently in French, and explore the rich cultural, social, political, and artistic heritage of the Francophone world. Studying French at A Level not only opens the door to mastering a global language, but also develops highly transferable skills such as critical thinking, analysis, communication, and intercultural awareness. Whether you are passionate about languages, keen on travel, or simply looking for a subject that complements both arts and science pathways, French offers a versatile and respected option that stands out on university and job applications. Top universities such as the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University College London (UCL), the University of Edinburgh, and Durham University highly value A Level French as part of their modern languages and humanities admissions.
