Do you want a qualification that stands out and is highly valued in the workplace? Do you want to develop your understanding of German-speaking society? Do you want the opportunity to refine your language skills to be able to communicate effectively in Germany and beyond?

Our A Level course is wide ranging, including many cross-curricular aspects such as culture, politics, history, social issues and language. This makes it the perfect facilitating subject for university entrance. We cover a wide variety of engaging topics including recent changes in society, artistic culture in the German speaking world, multiculturalism and the reunification of Germany.

Our experienced teachers draw on varied resources to ensure that you are up to date with current issues in the German-speaking world whilst developing your language skills. During the course, you will complete an in depth study of a German literary work and film, developing a deeper understanding of the context in which each is set.

You will further develop skills by undertaking an Individual Research Project on a topic of your choice during Year 13, which will form the basis of your speaking examination at the end of the course. You will benefit from the opportunity to work with students from one of our partner schools in Germany, either in Kiel or in Stuttgart, enabling you to immerse yourself in German language and culture.
