Did you know that Germany is the UK’s second-largest trading partner after the USA? Approximately 75% of UK international trade is with non-English speaking countries. It is therefore not surprising that British businesses are looking for linguists, and, in particular, for people who can speak German. That makes learning German an excellent choice for young people wanting to maximize their employment chances. You will develop all four language skills: speaking, reading, listening, and writing by using a wide range of materials, both in and outside the classroom. You will also have the opportunity to take part in our exchange to Göttingen, which includes five days of work experience. You will develop your knowledge of German-speaking countries and their culture by studying various topics as part of your course, as well as a German film and a German book. A qualification in German is highly valued by universities and employers alike. At university, German can be studied alone or combined with almost any subject. Employment prospects are very good for graduates with a language qualification.
The basic requirement is five GCSEs at grade 4 with a grade 6 at GCSE for German and grade 5 for English. An interest in German language and culture is also essential.
