    Written by  Eve Elwell Thursday, 14 July 2011

    Eve Elwell is working as an intern for the European Commission, in their Interpreting department. Here, she gives an account of what it takes to make it into interpreting as a career choice, with information about the job, what to study and more...

  • Recent statistics have shown that languages have proven to be less popular in schools, with French taking a real knock at GCSE level. This in turn means that less sixth-formers will study languages at A-Level, which could have - and already has had, in some circles - some disastrous consequences for language departments at university level.

The good news is that they'll be recruiting in two years time - those of you studying languages right now will be precisely the kind of people they'll be on the look out for in 2012.
  • So you’ve graduated, you’ve moved out of your flat share and back in with the parents oh horror of horrors, or maybe you’ve decided to stay in your university town. Either way, the new dilemma facing you will undoubtedly be: what on earth am I going to do next?

People are always quick to reply in the positive, but you've inevitably got that voice in your head going 'Really? Like what exactly?'. Because, let's be honest here, there doesn't seem to be much on offer apart from TEFL.
