applying for French in a 3 language degree

Hi, I've been told by my 1st choice university to do a 3 language degree I need to complete a course that will give me a B1 certificate in French but I'm not sure how to do it? Any help would be great, thanks!

I'm not sure what you’re asking. Why would a university TELL you to do a degree? You apply to them! Don't do a 3 language degree unless you really LOVE the process of learning languages.

You can do a DELF (Diplôme d'études en langue française) in B1, that is the best way to show proof that you can speak the language without doing an A level. http://www.institut-francais.org.uk/french-courses/exams/delf-dalf/delf-and-dalf/

I do love languages otherwise I wouldn't be considering doing a 3 language degree! I emailed Lancaster University as they wanted to good A-levels to do the degree but I only have Spanish because my sixth form didn't offer French alongside it and they said I need to complete B1 French to show I can do it.
