Location: 
Aston University, Birmingham, B4 7ET

This is a third party event

This year, Aston University will host its eleventh International Business and Modern Foreign Languages Residential for students studying French, Spanish or German or who are considering taking a year abroad as part of their degree. The event offers students an invaluable opportunity to develop their language and communication skills whilst also understanding the role their language could play in the world of work. Students can now study German or Spanish at Aston without having completed an A Level previously, so if your students are interested in learning a language or doing a study year abroad, this residential is ideal for them. Please note there is a cost of £99 per student for this event.

For more information or to register, please contact Sarah Fullwood at sixthformenrichment@aston.ac.uk
