Languages A-Level Pathway

EPQ

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)is a largely self-directed research project into a topic of the student’s choice. You will develop your study skills as you plan, research and develop your idea, creating either a research assignment, a product or an activity (e.g.,an event)as your final piece. The EPQ may also count towards UCAS points.

Core Maths is an exciting course which will help you to use maths in a range of ‘real world’ contexts to prepare for success in your studies, future care and life.

This one-year course will develop your mathematical skills and thinking appropriate for a Level 3 qualification. You will become more confident and competent in using maths and the qualification will be considered for UCAS points if you are planning to study at university in the future.

Work experience examples (skills, sector, employers) Experience that focusses on the development of interpersonal skills is useful like roles in education (Derby City Council).Community based groups and charity groups that deal with speakers of other languages may also be useful like the Citizens Advice Bureau. However private employers who have interests in global business or tourism may also be of use, including supply chain and logistics.

These are the careers most associated with the subject expertise, however there are many more roles where the study of this subject will be of use.

Due to the range of the specific and general skills gained from studying languages, the opportunity for students to move on and specialise in a specialist area and/or to undertake professional or vocational qualifications is available in a range of sectors/subjects -either within employments or Higher Education. Language students can often be self-employed.
