German courses

It's often said the UK doesn't produce enough modern language graduates, and graduates from French, German, Italian and Spanish courses have a lot of options available to them when they complete their courses. The general theme is that some graduates go to that country to work, often as English language teachers, some go into further study, often to train as teachers or translators, but most get jobs in the UK in education - as language tutors, unsurprisingly - or translation. Modern language grads can also be in demand in business roles where communication and language skills are particularly useful, such as marketing and PR. Russian studies graduates make up a small but in demand group of language grads; with Russia playing an important part in world business and politics, graduates usually command some of the highest salaries in this area. Employers say they rate graduates who have more than one language, but remember you need to have them as part of a whole package of good skills.
