Spanish (Sp)
Exam Board and Specification: AQA GCSE Spanish 8698
Aim
Spanish is a valuable qualification and a wider range of job opportunities will be open to you if you are competent in at least one modern language. Universities tend to value languages highly, either studied individually or combined with other subjects. In Europe, Spanish is the second most popular language after English. Spanish is an official language on four continents and is the mother tongue in 21 countries which makes it incredibly valuable with regards to business. Globalisation is shrinking the business world and those who know more than one language will definitely have the edge.
