Everywhere! A thorough knowledge of French can lead to many different careers as the world has become so interconnected. French can be studied as a subject on its own or in combination with other subjects such as Business Studies, Law and Tourism. As well as teaching, translating and interpreting, French is an important asset in many other spheres – commerce, industry, fashion, publishing and communications are some examples.
