Applying to study English and MFL at Oxford

Hi! I’m hoping to apply for English and Spanish this autumn and I have a few questions. Any responses would be great!
- How should I link the two subject areas together in my personal statement?
- Should I include old english / old spanish in my personal statement?
- Any recommended supercurriculars?
- How many supercurriculars do I need to do?
For reference, I’m doing an EPQ on the morality of the Byronic hero figure in literature where I’m looking at 6 texts in total over 3 time periods. I’ve entered an essay competition and translation competition. I have watched many high-acclaimed spanish movies and have a list of about eight plays / books written in spanish that I want to read by the end of summer.

1. Are you applying for a joint degree in English and Spanish at your other 4 choices? If so, then you should structure your UCAS Personal Statement as 50% English and 50% Spanish. Don’t include more than 4 books.
2. There is no need to include ‘old’ English or even ‘old’ Spanish.
3. Do mention in one line the essay competition and translation competition.
