What the college says
WHY CHOOSE GERMAN? A Level German is not just for those who want to study Modern Languages at University. Many students over the past few years have studied German in combination with Maths, a Science, Economics, Business Studies or Design, as well as with the more traditional Arts subjects. Many degree courses now involve a language and, in an expanding European Union, people with an advanced language qualification will have more opportunity to live and work abroad as well as enhanced job prospects. If you have obtained a good GCSE grade why not consider German as one of your subjects? Remember, if you have studied one foreign language to this level it is easier to learn another at University or in later life.
