I'm doing International Business and a Language, these are my firm and insurance choices:

Firm: Aston University, International Business and Modern Languages (German)
Insurance: University of Chester, International Business and German

I was considering doing ab initio Spanish in my first year outside of my course too but it might be too much work.

Have any of you applied to do French and Spanish at Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Exeter or York? I have and am struggling to choose! Would love to talk to any potential course mates and see how you are deciding :smile:

Hi Tash28,

I'm Carly and I'm a second year student of French and Spanish at Bath!
It's great that you've applied to Bath and if you have any questions about the course, university, city, etc. to help you make your decision feel free to quote me and I'd be happy to answer them.

Carly

I'm applying for Modern Languages at Newcastle, East Anglia, Kent, Sheffield and one other, haven't decided yet though! I simply love Newcastle, first choice by far. Not a fan of literature so I'm going for the ones that have little or none of it, though I have no idea about Sheffield and got no reply to the email I sent them. :s-smilie:

I applied to Bristol to study Spanish and Russian. I received a conditional offer with the grades of ABB. I made this offer as my firm,now I just have to do my best because I really want to go there.

Woop! Got an offer for German with Language and Linguistics MA at Aberdeen :smile:

Very exciting! Still waiting on all of my other choices, but hey, they have until May so I doubt they're in a rush!

I've applied to do Spanish and drama at Lancaster, Kent, and Essex. (And just theatre at two others due to grade boundaries and the fact one is a drama school) I'm worried I'm not going to cope as I'm struggling with Spanish at A Level :frown:

Applied for French & Chinese (will hopefully take up German as well) at Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield :-)

Hi! I applied for French and Chinese at Leeds and Manchester too. Have you heard anything from Manchester? Because I didn't. However, I think I am going to firm Leeds, but I was curious why it takes Manchester so long to make decisions for this course :smile:

Does anyone know how flexible Exeter is for changing course once you firm?

Hi there,

I can't help you with the actual universities, as I'm not familiar with either, but things to take into consideration would be:

Course content - how much and what sort of modules are there in aspects such as language (written and oral/aural), literature, history, culture, current affairs, etc.

Assuming there will be a year abroad as part of your course, how does it work at each university? Would you spend a full academic year in one country with holiday time spent in the other? Or would you split the academic year?

Then think about student life at each, e.g. type of campus, accommodation, clubs and societies, anything and everything that could impact your life over the length of your course.

Visiting the universities can be very helpful as it lets you get a feel for the general atmosphere as well as speaking to current students and staff, so if you have the chance to do that, it's a very worthwhile investment of your time and money.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your choice. :smile:
