Language and Business Competition

Our Language and Business competition is a challenge set for Year 9 and 10 students who are studying French, Spanish or German in school.

The event is designed to bring language learning to life, help build their confidence and make learning a language exciting for young people. We hope to encourage them to continue with their language learning beyond GCSE and to understand the importance of languages in a business context.

The competition runs from January to March and consists of two in-school workshops that will be delivered by our postgraduate students.  Schools will then select finalists and bring those students to an on-campus final.

In line with our Widening Participation targets we prioritise workshops to state schools but will take expressions of interest from all schools. Please be aware that due to a limited budget we can only deliver live in school workshops to schools which are within two hours of the university by public transport.
