What will I study?
The MFL (French/Spanish) A Level course is aimed at students with a passion for languages and who are interested in other cultures. MFL A Level will give you the opportunity to acquire an impressive range of linguistic skills, including an extensive vocabulary and range of grammatical structures. You will have a range of options, such as discovering different aspects of European society (food, fashion, tourism or music), expressing your opinions on current issues in written and oral form or even studying a novel in your A Level course. A visit to a French or Spanish speaking country at some point during the two year course is strongly advised. The aim of the course is to make students active participants and encourage them to explore the French and Spanish speaking worlds as much as possible.

Progression
Apart from the enjoyment of being able to understand and speak a foreign language, the MFL A Level course is both academically and culturally enriching. Spanish or French can be combined with virtually any university course you can think of, from Economics to Environmental Sciences. It may open up possibilities if you are planning to do a year abroad as part of your degree. For example, a year in South America studying, working or travelling can be a wonderful experience.
