What the college says

German combines particularly well not only with another foreign language at A level but also with other Arts, Social Science and Science subjects. German is a facilitating A level which is highly regarded by universities as a sure sign that a student is an effective communicator who can deal with academic challenge and who is open to other cultures. Students not considering further education will also find that an A level pass may open new and further opportunities in many careers such as journalism, finance, international business and technology. In the current climate, language skills are particularly sought after in all areas of business and industry worldwide. None of this detracts of course from the purely personal benefit of language study, the effects of which can be a source of life-long enjoyment. The Year 12 Berlin trip is also a highlight! You can expect to speak German fairly fluently by the end of this course.
