Introduction

If you have a mind that is both analytical and creative, you will find that our wide range of Arts, Humanities and Modern Language GCSEs and A Levels provide an intellectual challenge and allow you to develop independent thinking.

We offer courses including French, Spanish, archaeology, citizenship, communication and culture, critical thinking, English literature, film studies, history and philosophy. These subjects often complement the study of law and politics and the social sciences and can also provide a counterbalance to the study of pure sciences and mathematics.

A GCSE qualification in English Language is offered required for teacher training courses and many professions will expect you to demonstrate that you have a good standard of literacy. The ability to speak another language is a valuable skill which will greatly enhance your employment prospects in an increasingly global business economy. Language skills will also open up the opportunity to live abroad. What’s more, a qualification in an Arts, Language or Humanities subject will demonstrate that you have the ability to process and analyse complex information and can respond to philosophical ideas with originality and flair.
