Any Uni's that accept A2 Arabic??

Hi,
I am an arabic student currently studyin alevels in bahrain. thus my first language is Arabic and so i found it easy to take the A2 in year 11 and got a high A in it
Jus heard from people in my school that alevels in your first language arent accepted by some unis.
if any1 knows more info about this i would be very greatful.

anythin like which unis do accept/dont accept is highly appreciated.

Note: I am aiming to go to a top 10 uni in the UK as i am expecting straight A's in my alevels

tks in advance

Probably none of the top 10 unis will accpet it if it's your first language.

I don't know, but it would be valued I suppose, because it's proof that you're fluent at a language.
I'm doing my AS this year!

It depends completely on the course & university. You will need to check each universities entry requirements before applying. However I recommend e-mailing and double checking just incase because entry requirements can sometimes be vague.

I done a language A-level in year 10 and my teachers told me it wouldn't count. Once I applied to uni, I discovered that all my universities accepted it. :smile:

What other A-levels are you doing? If you're doing 3 others, it shouldn't be an issue... otherwise, there aren't many unis (and definitely not many top 10 ones) that will accept A-level Arabic in the same standings as they would other A-levels.

i understand that they wouldnt value it similar to maths for example
but will it get any credit?

It might, but don't rely on it. It's better to e-mail the admissions departments of the universities you're interested in.

I think it's counted but only if it's an extra plus 3 other A2s...I'm not really sure...

I don't get it... so you have an AS in Psychology and IT, and an whole A-levels (AS and A2) in Arabic, Maths, Further Maths, and Economics?

@Sharpiiie: He can't lie because he lives in Bahrain and everyone knows arabic is mother tounge :smile:

I went to an Oxbridge conference a couple of weeks ago and one of the admissions tutors said that they accepted all language A-Levels because they don't know whether Arabic is your first language or not. Having said that, I have seen on some university websites that they don't accept first language A-Levels. All in all, I think you'll be fine considering you'll have 3 other A Levels and another 2 AS.

Any Uni's that accept A2 Arabic??
