What the college says

WHY CHOOSE FRENCH? It's a multilingual world, not everyone speaks English. 94% of the world does not speak English as their first language, 75% does not speak English at all. A recent report stated that linguists are likely to earn an extra ?3,000 per annum and the languages most needed are French, German, Spanish and Italian. French is now a subject that can be studied alone or with many other disciplines. Remember, if you have studied one foreign language to this level it is easier to learn another at University or in later life. A foreign language is an extra skill and any qualification in a foreign language will help to provide students with a wider range of job opportunities and the opportunity to travel abroad and perhaps spend a year in France or a French speaking country. So if you are interested in Science or ICT why not study a language as well?
