Employability and HE

“People who have learned languages are articulate, flexible and adaptable. Employers value their communication skills very highly and, as a result, languages graduates in the UK have the lowest unemployment rate other than medicine and education.” (Guardian Education) 

Languages are regarded as some of the most academic subjects, so universities as well as employers value them. Fluency in French can allow you to work or study in France or other French speaking countries, during your studies or later in life. In addition, A level offers you the chance to find out more about French culture and society and develops your capacity to see the world through other people’s eyes and understand their point of view. Therefore, in today’s global economy, there’s never been a better time to study French!

 Modern Languages graduates have some of the lowest unemployment rates and are highly sought after by large companies. They also earn, on average, 8% more than other graduates! 

Our students realise this, and many continue studying a language at university - often with subjects like International Business or Law. A language is needed to allow students to compete on an equal footing with our mainland European counterparts whose level of English is often as good as our own!

 Our students choose a wide variety of universities, with particular success at Russell group establishments, but all comment on how well prepared they feel when they start their languages course. They go on to a huge range of careers, both at home and abroad
