By choosing to study French, students embrace variety and adventure. Whilst refining students' skills in spoken and written French, the course also samples from a vast array of other disciplines, including sociology, literature, film studies, linguistics, history, music, philosophy and politics. Students will also undertake a research project, over which they have complete freedom of choice. French A Level is not just about 'holiday French' (though it's great for that too); it is about exploring all the many facets of the French-speaking world, from France to North Africa and beyond. A glorious blend of academic and practical skills, French A Level is for the curious, the ambitious and the open-minded.

Three Exams; Listening,reading and writing - 50% of A Level, Writing- 20% of A Level, Speaking- 30% of A Level

5 or more standard GCSE passes or higher (grade 4 or higher) including GCSE Maths and either English Language or English Literature at a grade 4 or above. If a student is applying for a course in a subject that they have studied at GCSE it is expected that a student would have achieved at least a standard pass (grade 4) in this subject. Achieving a grade 6 or higher in GCSE French is desirable.

French has the advantage of being both a practical employment skill and a subject which is perceived to be highly academic, meaning that it is much sought-after by both universities and employers. Former languages students choose to deploy their languages skills in a range of rewarding professional contexts, including journalism, law, business, politics and diplomacy.
