Spanish A-level

Spanish tests all four language skills - listening, reading, speaking and writing, whilst building upon already familiar topics from GCSE, such as, entertainment, trends and travelling. In Year 2, Spanish further develops your language skills through the study of more advanced topics including Spanish cinema and literature. Grammar is a key part throughout.

If you intend to study a programme of three A-level subjects or two A-level subjects and one BTEC Extended Certificate subject:

• You will need a minimum of five GCSEs at grades 4 or above including English Language and Maths. If you haven’t achieved a grade 4 in GCSE Maths, there may be an opportunity to re-sit this alongside your other subjects.

Additional entry requirements:

• You must have achieved at least a grade 6 in GCSE Spanish.

The College will always treat each applicant as an individual. Should you not have or not expect to obtain the grades stated above, or not have relevant industry-related experience, the College would still welcome your application for this course as this will enable us to identify whether this course is, in fact, the right course for you or whether another course may be more appropriate.

All course offers will be subject to satisfactory interview and reference.
