What the college says

Spanish combines particularly well not only with another foreign language at A level but also with other Arts, Social Science and Science subjects. It 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, banking, commerce and administrative work. The importance of a language skill for all areas of business and industry worldwide is becoming increasingly stressed. None of this detracts from the purely personal benefit of language study, the effects of which can be a source of life-long enjoyment. The Year 12 and 13 trips to Madrid and Granada are also very pleasurable! You can expect to speak Spanish quite fluently by the end of this course.
