French students visited a local university last year to gain an insight into studying French beyond A-Level and to take advantage of a day of language based input provided by university lecturers. The AQA A-Level French course includes an Individual Research Project (IRP) which enables students to investigate an area of French /French-speaking culture or history of personal interest to them and to develop their independent study skills.
Learning French can open up a host of UK and international study and employment opportunities. The ability to communicate in a second language and the confidence and communication skills that this brings make language students highly employable.
Many students go on to study for a joint or combined honours degree in French either with another foreign language or with subjects such as English, History, Law, Economics or Mathematics. Degree courses often incorporate a year abroad working or studying and additionally some students spend time travelling independently. Others enter employment with training or an apprenticeship on completion of their A Level study.
