Being fluent in a second language demonstrates cultural openness and adaptability as well as giving you a competitive edge and enhanced employability.<br>One major employer stated: “When I see a good CV that includes a period abroad I see someone who has challenged themselves and proved their ability to be independent. I tend to reach for those first even if the foreign language isn’t essential to the role.”<br>There’s growing demand for graduates with both IT and language skills in the ICT sector. This course will give you a thorough grounding in all the essential areas of computing, while also giving you the opportunity to develop fluency in French, German or Spanish.
