Further to your application to study at UCL, I am writing to alert you to our Foreign Language requirement. All UK-based students who have studied in the UK are required to offer a foreign language (any language except Ancient Greek, Latin and Esperanto) to at least GCSE grade C or equivalent. This policy was introduced to reflect the importance UCL attaches to foreign language skills as a component of a broad and balanced education, and intercultural awareness.
From our initial assessment of your UCAS application we have noted that you are not offering this requirement. If this information has been omitted from your application, or if you have one of the following qualifications then please let us know: Asset Languages Intermediate Level Grades 7 – 9; OCR Certificate in Business Language Competence Level 2; Scottish Credit Standard Grade/Intermediate 2; International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme Language B Grades 4 -7; Edexcel NVQ Language Qualification Level 2; ABC Double Awards in Practical Languages Level 2.
We recognise that you may not meet these requirements at present because, for example, your school does not offer language examinations. If you are not offering a foreign language, please email a brief explanation, and ask your school to send a statement indicating whether or not the school offers foreign languages. This information will be considered after your application has been fully assessed by the selectors for your chosen programme. If we wish to make you an offer and your reasons for not offering a foreign language are approved, you will be offered alternative opportunities of learning a language and developing intercultural awareness. For example, you could take a half course unit in a foreign language as part of your degree programme, or study for a UCL certificate in a foreign language, or join an intensive summer language course run by UCL, prior to the start of your degree programme.
