BROADENING HORIZONS WITH LANGUAGE AMBASSADORS
‘Lots of doors open to you when you study a language.’ That was the message from Strathclyde University ‘Language Ambassadors,’ who came to visit S2 pupils in March.
Four language students at Strathclyde University explained the benefits of continuing to study languages, including opportunities to study, work and travel abroad.
The students described the various options for language study at university, which include combining languages with subjects such as business, law and science.
They explained that they have gained transferable skills beneficial to many careers, such as communication, adaptability and intercultural awareness.
The students are looking forward to the challenge of spending the forthcoming year of their courses studying or working in Spain and France.
They are also excited about the future, as they know their language experience will help them stand out when it comes to applying for jobs.
It was great to see former Hyndland pupil Martin Monaghan, now a student of Physics with French, returning to Hyndland to inspire current pupils with his success!
