Where will it lead? Add a language to your CV and see off competitors in the jobs market. You don’t have to become a translator or interpreter for a language to be useful in your career. As globalisation accelerates, the ability to communicate internationally is becoming necessary for many businesses, and as a consequence many university courses include or can be combined with a language component. Combining another subject with a language at university often allows for a year to be spent studying abroad with eligibility for ERASMUS funding and exemption from tuition costs. The University of Cambridge and many of the Russell Group universities name Languages as one of the A Level subjects that will keep your higher education options open. Achieving fluency in a foreign language is a skill which others will envy and admire in your personal and professional life. Links with other courses? A GCE language links easily with History, Philosophy, Science, Geography, Politics, Law, Medicine, Business, Art and Drama.
