WHAT CAREERS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ME IF I STUDY FRENCH?

Language graduates get good jobs as, by studying French, you acquire a whole range of skills that can be applied to a great variety of professions. In particular, you will have very good communication skills, which are highly valued by employers. Learning a language gives you another way of looking at, analysing and interpreting the world, so you are automatically more attractive to potential employers. As a result, language graduates can choose from a variety of careers and professions, for example:

• teaching (not just second level, but also professional language training)
• the public service (because you have shown language learning potential you may be recruited to learn another language)
• tourism
• international business (marketing, finance, personnel), translating, localising and interpreting
• the media and information industry
