What the college says

Spanish A Level will give you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the language and culture of the 'Hispanic' world. Not only will you be perfecting your fluency and communicating with others in this rich effervescent language, you will also be amazed to discover the enormous and varied culture provided by Spanish-speaking countries all over the world. Through the study of a wealth of materials in the original language, you will be discovering and analysing a range of issues and trends within Spanish-speaking societies, arts and politics, including the study of film, music, literature and current affairs. This is a stimulating course which will equip you with many transferable skills such as autonomy, resourcefulness, creativity, critical thinking, analysis and linguistic flexibility enabling you to proceed to further study or to employment. Imagine being able to mediate between speakers of Spanish and English, directly experience other cultures and develop the ability to learn other languages. Learning Spanish will open the door to other Romance languages such as Italian, Portuguese and French, making them easier to learn. The MFL department is both dedicated and passionate. Communicating in another language is an invaluable and impressive life skill. We are here to help you build in confidence and develop your ability and flair to use Spanish for both practical and intellectual purposes, both now and in the future.
