Where Will This Lead?
A qualification in a foreign language is an excellent asset for any career or university pathway. Increasingly, in our global society, employers and educational institutions are very keen to recruit those with an international aspect to their CV.
Previous students have gone on to study languages at universities across the world including Russell Group institutions. Many have chosen to stay within the North West, where there are many excellent language departments. Linguists from OSFC have gone on to work in many sectors including the chemical industry, the Air Force, law, teaching, marketing, the Civil Service and in the media.
