Summary

This year, we are holding an Arabic and Urdu A-Level Day, which is aimed at AS or A2 students studying Arabic or Urdu.


This event will have a practical focus and aims to support AS and A2 students in their preparation for the A-Level examinations. It will include:
• A talk about languages in Higher Education and career opportunities with languages;
• A revision session in the language studied and a taster in another lesser-taught language;
• An examiner’s talk, in which an experienced A-Level examiner will talk about exam techniques and share tips for success.


A-Level students will also have the opportunity to talk to university language students over lunch and find out more about life at university.
