The A Level German course (Edexcel) will give you confidence to speak and write the language fluently, while introducing you to key issues relevant to Germany and the German-speaking world. You will explore literature, film, and traditions, gaining a deeper understanding of the rich cultural heritage of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This course offers you the opportunity to develop your communication and comprehension skills, broaden your understanding of diverse cultures, and enhance your employment prospects both locally and globally. Studying A Level German not only provides you with a solid foundation for further study, work, training, or leisure, but it also opens doors to a range of exciting opportunities. The skills you acquire in language learning are highly sought after by employers, with 58% of businesses in the UK recognising the benefits of bilingual employees. Furthermore, language graduates enjoy enhanced job prospects, with 90% finding employment within six months of graduating from university. Former QMC German students have moved on to careers in law, airline services, marketing, broadcast journalism, diplomatic service, publishing, lecturing, international aid, translation services and more.
General entry requirements are 5 or more GCSEs graded 4/5 or above including English Language, and ideally, Maths. To study this course, Grade 6 or above in GCSE German (or equivalent) is required. This requirement ensures that you have a solid basis to excel in the course and maximise your learning experience. Students with a German background can be admitted without a GCSE in German, subject to a language test.
The A Level German examination (Edexcel) consists of three components: Listening, Reading and Translation (2 hours) Writing – Essays on Literature and Film and Translation (2 hours 40 minutes) Speaking – a topic card and an individual research project (21-23 minutes)
