BA (Hons) Modern Languages and Linguistics (5 Years Including Foundation Year)

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

Our BA Modern Languages and Linguistics (including foundation year) is open to Home and EU students. It will be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entrance requirements for the three-year version of this course and you want a program that increases your subject knowledge as well as improves your academic skills.

This five-year course includes a foundation year (Year Zero), followed by a further four years of study. During your Year Zero, you study four academic subjects relevant to your chosen course as well as a compulsory academic skills module.

You are an Essex student from day one, a member of our global community-based at the most internationally diverse campus university in the UK.

General Eligibility

UK and EU applicants:

  • All applications for degree courses with a foundation year (Year Zero) will be considered individually, whether you

  • think you might not have the grades to enter the first year of a degree course;

  • have non-traditional qualifications or experience (e.g. you haven’t studied A-levels or a BTEC);

  • are returning to university after some time away from education; or

  • are looking for more support during the transition into university study.

    Standard offer:

  • Our standard offer is 72 UCAS tariff points from at least two full A-levels or equivalent.

  • Examples of the above tariff may include:

  • A-levels: DDD

  • BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma: MMP

  • T-levels: Pass with an E in core

  • To study Portuguese as your major language, you need an A-level pass (or equivalent) in Italian, French, Spanish or Portuguese or fluency in Italian, French, Romanian or Spanish.

  • If you are unsure whether you meet the entry criteria, please get in touch for advice.

  • Mature applicants and non-traditional academic backgrounds:

  • We welcome applications from mature students (over 21) and students with non-traditional academic backgrounds (who might not have gone on from school to take level 3 qualifications). We will consider your educational and employment history, along with your personal statement and reference, to gain a rounded view of your suitability for the course.

International & EU entry requirements

We accept a wide range of qualifications from applicants studying in the EU and other countries. Get in touch with any questions you may have about the qualifications we accept. Remember to tell us about the qualifications you have already completed or are currently taking.
