For higher level language options you will need a B at A2 level in your chosen language. If you have not studied this language previously, you will need to prove some language competence (usually by having at least an AS level in another foreign language, but a GCSE grade B may also be considered for some language options). Applicants who choose the French or Spanish option, however, must have a B in the language at A level. This is because these languages are not available at beginners level. Note: Please remember to enter your choice of language under ‘further details’ in the choices section of the UCAS application form. If you are considering taking an ab initio language but are unsure, please let us know.
