Modern Languages Applicants 2020

hello anyone who applied to bath - which course code did you put on your ucas application? the standard R900 one for just 'Modern Languages' or the specific one e.g. Modern Languages (French Advanced, German Advanced) RFGA??
The Bath website says R900 but surely the specific code makes more sense? probably a stupid panic but just wondering what others put bc my sixth form office is useless x

You put R900 as the code and then where it says additional information you buy the FAGA bit of whatever you’re specific courses are

nah i havent finished my personal statement yet im just finding it wayyy too hard to write, have you had any offers yet?? x

(Sorry locked out of my account lol) Yeah I've got offers from Queen Mary, Bristol, UCL and Bath yesterday! I know I had to make my spanish teacher sort it out with me because I found it really hard to condense stuff and what content to put in that shows I'm passionate :biggrin:

. Where are you thinking of firming? x

Hello! I applied to Bath for the R900 course, but on the website they ask you to specify what you'll be doing on the UCAS website, so for me, I put SA(Spanish Advanced) and FA(French Advanced).

Hi! I'm applying to Bath too. Bath looks so cute and they have really great graduate prospects too because of their connections and departmental resources, which is why I'm still confused as why their entrance grades are soooo low. I'm applying for Spanish and ab initio Italian and I really wanna get in. I just don't know when they'll reply because everyone that I've seen that's applying to bath is in the sciences… x

Hi! I'm applying to Bath to do Spanish and ab initio Italian as well. Have you sent off your application?
