Entry requirements

In order to apply you'll need to have completed, or be in the final year of a UK degree (or an equivalent qualification). You’re required to have a good honours degree or above with at least 50% in French, German or Spanish. A native speaker of one of the above languages would need to be a fluent and clear speaker of English and have a degree, which may be in another subject other than the first language they wish to teach. You'll also need GCSE passes at grade 4/C or above (or recognised equivalents) in English and Mathematics. In addition, for some Secondary programmes you are also required to have an A-level in the subject. Applicants must be able to offer two teachable languages, one of which must be French - at any level - and either German or Spanish. Second languages can be improved to teaching standard by the completion of a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course.
