Many of our students go on to study German at university, either as single honours or alongside another subject. A language combines well with other studies – for example many Science-related degree courses now offer students the opportunity to work in labs overseas. Similarly, some Law courses allow students to take options in European law and pursue placements abroad. Employers will very often value your skills as a former language student.
