UCL Law with French Law Fluency

I've applied for Law with French Law at UCL and have, embarrassingly, only just realised that it states on the UCL website that: "Candidates are required to demonstrate complete fluency in French in addition to the standard entry requirements" and that there will be an interview and that there will be "an interview to assess language capability".

I am wondering now whether "complete fluency" means just that, or whether a good A Level standard would do the trick?

If anyone has any information about this, I would greatly appreciate it. I know that Oxford didn't require complete fluency at all, just a short interview to gauge potential.

Hello, this is the reason why I’ve applied for straight law here and not with French :frown:

Hi there,

I just rang up UCL's admissions office to ask them about this directly.

They said that whilst the website states complete fluency, doing A-Level French is a perfectly acceptable standard. They also said that whilst UCL doesn't offer any language models itself, the fact that so many students are native speakers helps a lot with your language development over the first two years.

Essentially, the requirements are the same as any other uni in terms of your French (i.e NOT completely fluent) so, if you are still wanting to apply for it, I think you should go for it.

Hope this helps.
