The study of Spanish provides intellectual stimulation and fulfilment, together with a platform for further study. Spanish can be studied with a wide range of other subjects at university from Art to History. Furthermore, the broad reach of the Spanish language provides a huge range of options for higher education and the British Council has recently rated Spanish as the most important language for Britons to learn in their ‘Languages of the Future’ report. The A-level Spanish course allows you to engage with current social issues in Hispanic society, as well as artistic culture, film and literature, and aspects of political life in the Hispanic world. The programme of study will provide opportunities for independent research and access to a wide range of authentic sources across a variety of media. By the end of the two-year course, you will be able to speak quite fluently in a foreign language, an invaluable skill to employers.
