Standard requirements
A minimum 2:2 undergraduate degree with a final mark of at least 50% or above.
If you have a lower degree classification, or a degree in an unrelated subject, your application may be considered if you can demonstrate significant relevant work experience, or offer a related graduate qualification (such as a Masters or PGDip).
Other requirements
General entry advice
-
Bachelor's degree in languages with 2:2 honours or above (or overseas equivalent). Joint language degrees are welcome provided there is a major (50% or more) languages component.
-
GCSE grade C or above, or an equivalent qualification, in English Language and mathematics. Applicants without these English or mathematics qualifications at the time they apply may be considered, but they must obtain them, or pass an equivalent test approved by King's, before the course starts.
-
Applicants for Modern Foreign Languages need to offer two languages, either French and German or French and Spanish, with qualifications equivalent to at least A-level (CEFR B2) in the subsidiary language. As a guide, you should be proficient enough in your subsidiary language to teach it at GCSE level - this would require an A level or above in that language, or equivalent.
Regarding your educational background, if your academic documents are issued in a language other than English, we will ask you to submit both the originals and the official translations. We will not usually need to see official translations unless you have been successful in gaining an offer for the course. You may also be asked to show that your overseas qualifications are recognised through the UK European Network of Information Centres (ENIC) and therefore meet our entry requirements.
