Entrance requirements
To be eligible for the BA French degree you must:
- two subjects at GCE 'A'
level plus at least three further subjects at GCSE/GCE 'O'
level (at not less than grade C or a 'pass' if taken prior to
1975) or
- three subjects at GCE ‘A’ level (with one ‘A’ level
at not less than grade D) or
- three subjects at GCE 'A' level, plus one further
subject at GCSE/GCE 'O' level (at not less than grade C)
or
- two subjects at GCE 'A' level and two further
subjects at GCE 'AS' level and
-
demonstrate a competence in
the French language at a standard at least equivalent to a
Grade C in the GCE 'A' Level examination in French. The
University may require certain applicants to attend for
interview and/or to complete a test. (If you are unsure of
your competence in French the University will be happy to give you
guidance on this, in response to your application.
If necessary the University will make suggestions as to how you may
improve your performance to the standard required for
admission.)
-
the University reserves the
right to request applicants to provide evidence acceptable to
the University of oral and written competence in English
before an offer of registration can be made.

*Applications will be
considered from applicants who do not meet the normal
minimum age requirement for admission. Each application
will be considered on an individual basis, and the
decision taken at the discretion of the University of
London. |
Note:
applicants with other qualifications not listed above and/or
suitable work experience will be considered by the University on
an individual basis.
There are many
other acceptable qualifications (pdf: 6pgs, 91KB;
new window), both from
the UK and overseas, which the University accepts instead of
British 'O' and 'A' levels.
Exemptions
Although the University use the word
'exemption', other institutions often use the term 'credit
transfer'.
An exemption means that you
are not required to take a particular unit as part of your
degree. Students may apply for exemption from Level 1 of the
degree or from any of its constituent units or half units.
However, students are warned that exemption from the core
language elements at Level 1 is not normally awarded.
To be eligible you must
satisfy the University that you have already passed examinations
that compare in level, content and standard to the syllabuses
from which you want to be exempted. Some exemptions are automatically granted; all others are
considered on a non-automatic basis.
To be considered for exemption
you must satisfy the University's criteria and make an application.
Any exemption awarded is only valid for a limited period which
will be specified in your decision letter. If you do not attempt
an examination during this period, the exemption will expire. If
you still want the exemption to count towards your degree you
will need to apply again.
All
non-automatic exemptions are considered on payment of a fee,
currently £54 per unit / £27 per half unit.
