Applications will also be welcomed from those with joint or combined honours degrees in which French is a major subject, for example French and Law, French and Classical Studies or French and Business Studies.In addition we will accept applications from native speakers with honours degrees or equivalent. For advice about equivalence of degrees obtained from countries other than the UK and recognition of qualifications, you are advised to consult ENIC.In exceptional circumstances we accept applicants whose degree does not meet these general guidelines, looking at each individual case on its merits. You may therefore wish to make a case for the relevance of your degree on your application form.All applicants must have achieved a Grade C/Grade 4 or equivalent in Mathematics and English Language at GCSE. You may apply without these qualifications, but if you are successful at interview you must have passed them by the start of the course. Special tests in lieu of GCSE Mathematics and English are available for Secondary candidates who are offered conditional places but are lacking the requisite qualification.
