Official Modern Languages Applicants Thread for 2025 Entry Thread

Has anyone received an offer yet?

No, not yet. Sent my application off last week.

Im hoping to apply to Newcastle, Warwick and maybe Leeds (if anyone has more Uni's they've seen that they enjoy lmk cause I am looking for more). I study Spanish, French, Sociology and English Lit!!!!

Which Universities are studying two MFL? Are there any which do not hold entrance exam or perhaps no interview also?

Has anyone received an offer yet?

Most universities you can study 2 or even 3 languages. It depends on your level of attainment in the languages when you apply. Most of them don’t require interviews. I think that Oxford, Cambridge and maybe UCL and Durham ask for interviews, but check on their websites.

No, not yet. Sent my application off last week.

Question about taking 2 languages: Need some advice: I’ve got offers to do French(post A level) and Italian at 2 unis and Spanish at the rest( at beginner level). My question is can your beginner language really reach the same standard as your post A level language after 4 years?According to the uni blurb you can. Also the year abroad looks tricky with splitting your time between 2 countries, 3 months speaking only one of your languages would set your other language back? Your thoughts would be welcomed, thank you.

Sorry for late reply.
-picking up a language ab initio does seem difficult, however by the end of first year they project that you will have reached a level standard- intensive courses
-I honestly think having a year split 6 months spain 6 months france would be brilliant, plenty of time to acclimatise
I've always said having already learned french has helped my spanish a lot due to linguistic similarities within the two languages
Where have you applied to? Congrats on your offers so far

Dear Ben,
Thank you so much for your very helpful reply. I suddenly got into a panic about the amount of work etc. I have unconditional offers from Royal Holloway, Kent, Queen Mary and Kings College(London). Am now just waiting on UCL but would be more than happy to go to Kings if rejected by UCL( my first choice). Where did you do your French and Spanish?

Congratulations on those offers, that is phenomenal-I’m sure you’ll be more than fine getting to a high level in no time. As for me I just attend a local comprehensive sixth form, doing geography and my two languages (also did EPQ!!)
Hbu?

Thank you. In answer to your question, as I am a mature student, I did my A level French and Access to HE Diploma with online providers. What universities are you planning to apply to?
