You will develop your 4 language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) as well as learning a

wide range of more complex language structures. Topics include smartphones in society, “machismo” v.

feminism, the influence of the Catholic Church in contemporary society, immigration in the Spanishspeaking world, Spanish regional identity, art and architecture in Hispanic countries, the evolution of the

monarchy in Spain, Latin American dictators, and Spanish cinema.

You will also study at least 1 literary text and 1 Spanish film in depth. You should expect to build up your

vocabulary and your reading and listening skills by reading for pleasure in Spanish and listening to

Spanish on TV, radio or online.

A grade 5 or above in GCSE Spanish, and a Grade 5 in both English.

After taking A Level Spanish, you could go on to study Spanish at University, perhaps along with another

subject such as Business Studies, Law, International Relations or History. Some of our students have

opted to learn a new language such as Italian or Portuguese at University, where the requirement has

been a good A Level in any foreign language. Other students have chosen entirely different subjects at

Universities which offer the chance to spend a year studying their degree subjects at a University in Spain.

However, the highly developed communication skills and international awareness of an A Level linguist

are an asset for any career.
