Hey everyone,
Sorry if this has been asked before - I’m new to the student room and just thought I’d post a question and see if anyone can help.
I want to apply for a modern languages and culture studies course for September 2020. However I don’t have a GCSE or A level in the language I want to study at uni (Spanish)
I’ve travelled a lot since leaving sixth form, living in different countries for several months at a time - including Spain for 6 months. There, I enrolled in a Spanish course where I received a certificate from Cervantes. I also lived with 2 Spanish guys who didn’t speak any English so I found myself improving very fast.
Some of the courses have said in their prospectuses that you can even enrol being a complete beginner in the language.
My other A level results were shocking. The usual entry requirements for language courses are AAB or ABB.
So my question is, do you think I have a strong enough chance to be accepted onto a course with the experience I have? Or would I need to do an access course first? I have no issue doing this, but it just seems there’s no access courses actually tailored for modern languages.
Thanks for any help or advice!
