GCE A Level in German
at St Edward'S Roman Catholic/Church of England School, Poole, Poole · school or sixth form
What the college says
As the world becomes increasingly globalised and with the vast majority of Britain's trade focused on our European neighbours, an ability to speak foreign languages is a skill that is increasingly prized by employers and surveys point to the strong employment prospects and increased earnings enjoyed by graduates and school leavers with foreign language skills. However that is not the only reason why studying languages at A level is an enjoyable and worthwhile experience - many students choose languages simply due to a desire to speak and write fluently in a foreign language, because they want to travel or work abroad or due to the sheer enjoyment of learning a language.
