Any other Languages applicants for 2011?

I'm applying for German and Spanish, my heart is set on Glasgow. I will be doing Spanish ab initio (although I will have a GCSE in it by the end of the year!)

Hi, I don't know which universities you are considering applying to but I know that Newcastle and some others allow you to take 3 languages as part of the modern languages course (I'm not sure whether they offer the combination you want though!)
In terms of picking between French and German I would definitely agree with you about graduates in German being in higher demand than those with French, so it depends what you want to get out of your course. If you want to go and do something you love and won't struggle too much with then you could choose French, but if you are setting out from the start to maximise your employment prospects then maybe German would be better for you. I will also be applying for German Best of luck making your decision x

Does anyone have any opinions on French/German? I want to do Japanese, French and German, but most places only let you do two languages so I'll have to pick French or German.
I'm about equal standard in both languages (in my AS there was one mark difference), and I enjoy them more or less equally. I do find that French comes more naturally but I've heard (and can imagine) that German is a) less competitive and b) graduates are more in demand. I know I have to make the decision for myself but any advice anyone has would be appreciated =)

Thats my UCAS in!
Newcastle, Lancaster, Aberdeen, Hull & Ulster

Ooh, other languages applicants!! Well I'm applying for English Lit and Spanish joint at Oxford, Leeds, Manchester and Lancaster probs. Don't know about a 5th option as the course isn't offered at many places... suggestions (something in the ABB-BBB sort of region)

Oooh another Cambridge applicant. What college?

My friend is studying French German and Japanese at Manchester Met starting this year. She seems pretty happy with the place! Three languages does give you greater career prospects, but it's alot of hard work.

I already have a deferred place at Sheffield for Japanese next year, so maybe I'll be seeing some of you there?? I didn't like the city so much as SOAS or Oxford, but the reputation led me there in the end- and I'm very happy with my choice. Then again, I live in Lancaster, so Sheffield cannot possibly be any gloomier than here....

My heart is set on Sheffield at the moment, want to study Modern Languages there - French, Spanish & ab initio Russian if they offer it.

I have Sheffield, Nottingham, Bristol, Leicester and Exeter down as my 5 choices, just got to do my work experience at the local newspaper and tweak my personal statement a bit and I'll be sending off by application by the end of October.

French at UCL, Oxford, KCL, Nottingham & Bristol
Anyone else going for just French?

You're also applying to Bristol Have you already applied? It's the only place that has actually emailed me acknowledging me!

Never visited either but I definitely will if I get an offer. It's not my top choice though but it looks really good!

Oxford or UCL although I doubt I'll get in. It's just the waiting at the moment that's annoying me!!

Awesome. I may indeed see you there then! I did fall in love with Sheffield after seeing it, so I'll cross my fingers that you get in.
French, Spanish and Russian, eh? That's quite some combination though!
