When you decide to study A Level French as one of your subjects, you will simply be developing the skills you acquired during your GCSE course. You will continue to practise listening, reading, writing and speaking in French, but obviously to a higher level.
Everything we offer is there to help you to succeed. From the state-of-the-art language laboratory to a wide range of resources including lessons with friendly native speakers to help you become more confident speaking the language. Above all, you will find all the staff in the department friendly approachable and helpful. If you don’t believe us, just ask our students! Class sizes vary from year to year and language to language according to the number of students enrolled. Likewise, students should make full use of modern facilities to enhance their language skills. In addition, students should also take the opportunity to visit the country.
Where does A Level French lead?
Students in recent years have gone to university, studying languages by themselves. However, others have combined with other subjects, such as business, management, law, administration, ICT, engineering, international marketing and journalism. The choice is endless!
