Modern languages at Southampton 2024 start

Hi there!!
I’m going to study French and Spanish at Southampton university in September 2024, anybody else?

Me too!!! I'm so surprised I've found someone doing modern languages at southampton let alone both French and Spanish!!! I did/am doing a level French, but not Spanish so I will be doing it ab initio

Very late but hi! I'm gonna be studying Spanish & Linguistics this year ))
I've been trying to find language students and it's practically impossible lmao (it's rare to find someone studying humanities yet alone a language 😭) I'm hoping the numbers won't be too small when we actually get there tho

Yeah hopefully!! I’ve been to a couple of open days and there seemed to be quite a lot of languages students helping out so fingers crossed that means there’s usually high numbers!

Oh yeah I didn't think about that! Ngl tho I kinda blacked out the open day I went to but I think there were a lot of people there?
Did you apply for the BA for french/spanish or the integrated masters?

The BA, I did consider the masters but I just preferred the BA option. You?

If you don’t mind me asking which accommodation have you applied for?

At first I applied for the BA but then I asked to change to the masters! Now I'm just praying I get the grades I need because it's higher requirements 😅

I haven't applied yet cause I'm still debating over my third choice but I'm putting Wessex down for my first two preferences! Wbu?

I applied for Archers as choice 1 and Wessex as choices 2 + 3, really hoping I get Archers as it’s the most affordable option!!

Hi there everyone!

I'm considering putting Archers as my third preference cause it's cheaper and closer to the campus which is a bonus but I'm not sure cause I've heard it's quite small and I feel like I'd get on better in a larger environment? I'm very bad at decisions lol
If you don't mind me asking, what did you do on your gap year?

Can I ask how many content hours is typical for the course? I've heard it's quite low for humanities but I don't know how many I should be expecting

Ah ok. I think I’ll prefer the smaller environment (not too keen on vast numbers of people hehe) but yeah I like that it’s closer to campus.
I work full time in a primary school!! It’s been really fun

Yeah I can totally see why the smaller accommodation is attractive (the fact that its the cheapest is defo a bonus lol)
Your job actually sounds amazing!! I'm interested in teaching (tho defo not primary school for me personally - small children are kinda intimidating ngl) so maybe I'm a little biased tho... is that the career you're interested in or just like an experience sort of thing?
