Hola!

I thought there should be a thread for potential linguists for this upcoming UCAS cycle so we can see how everyone is getting on, course choices and so forth

Best of luck!

French and beginner's Italian here!

It's all so exciting! I visited the languages open day in Cambridge a while back, and have since been to King's College London (great French department but no Italian) and Leeds

I might even like Leeds more than Cambridge!

Edit: Haha neg reps! Ahh sorry I'll head over to the Leeds forum

[lilGem]

Hi Greengables!

another ab-initio Italian!

Leeds university would be perfect I loved it at the open day my friends who are there absolutely adore it

Personally though I could not go to university in London though

GCSEs: 13 A*s
AS Levels: Maths (A), German, Spanish, Eng Lit, Eng Lang
Course: German and Spanish, RR24
Unis of choice (for now, anyway): Oxford, St Andrew's, Edinburgh, Durham, Bath

I personally believe there are so few linguists around that we should all stick together

I'm currently in a quandary about what I want to study, but as long as I've got good results in it this year then I think I'll definitely be applying for French.

[Kaylaleigh]

gonna be applying to UEA for french and japanese double honours
I don't really have a back-up uni... I know I should but I do have my heart set on UEA and can't look at any other uni's other than nottingham when I go for a summer school next week :/

[such_a_lady]

Is anyone doing the Language day at Southampton tomorrow?

[Pi!]

Sheffield
Manchester
Leeeeeeeeeeeeds
Newcastle
Oxford Brookes (I might not, I haven't heard good things about their Japanese department)

Hey, am a part of the maths applicants thread so am loving the fact theres one for languages as I want to do a course in possibly:
Maths and/with German
or Maths with a year in europe (ie germany!!)
I have only been to one open day so far and loved it - Sheffield!!!
But am also looking at: Lancaster, Leeds (is leeds a good uni for languages everyone seems to like it!!!), Royal Holloway, Heriot-Watt and maybe a few others
What are good unis for languages that want like AAB-ABB (ie not oxbridge!!!)

Warwick, Cardiff, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham?

I don't really know which universities I'd like to apply for. At the moment I suppose Bristol and Cardiff are the ones I like the look of most. I'm visiting both of them this week though, so we'll see if my opinion changes.

Did anyone here come to the Southampton languages day?

*subscribes*

Best of luck to everyone!

HURRAH!!! Linguists unite! :-)

Hopefully applying for French and Spanish and possibly European Studies, results pending. If I do well enough to feel I could apply to Bath or Edinburgh, I'll definitely apply for European Studies. I'd looked at Southampton, but you can't split your year abroad there. Sad times.

Definitely following this thread

[-raisa]

linguists ftw

hopeful French and German ab initio [and Russian ab initio?] applicant here (dependent on results, of course).

looking at Cambridge, St. Andrew's and Sheffield for sure, but undecided about the rest of my unis.

I'm an international, so I won't be visiting any unis unfortunately. so any advice on which unis are best for languages is much appreciated
