Joint Honours Language Degrees at the University of Bristol

Bristol offers French, German, Italian, Portuguese (joint honours only), Russian and Spanish degrees.

These can be studied alone (except Portuguese), in combination with each other (for one-, two- and three-language programmes, see BA Modern Languages, or in combination with a wide variety of other subjects: Comparative Literature and Cultures, English, Film, History, History of Art, International Business Management, Law, Music, Philosophy, Politics and Theatre.

We have made some significant changes to our admissions requirements for these degree programmes that we would like you to be aware of:

• For BA Modern Languages, applicants who are not taking a language at A level or the equivalent but are taking a standalone language qualification at CEFR level B1 (in addition to three A levels or the equivalent) will be considered for entry. Please see the Admissions Statement for complete details.

• Applicants for all joint schools degree programmes (a language and another subject) except Law/MFL combinations no longer need to take a language A level (or equivalent) to be eligible to apply. Those who arrive with A level standard will go into the post-A level group; those without will go into the beginners’ (ab initio) group.

• Law/MFL combinations applicants who are not taking a language at A level or the equivalent but are taking a standalone language qualification at CEFR level B1 in the language they are applying for (in addition to three A levels or the equivalent) will be considered for entry.

Please see the Admissions Statement for full details, and do not hesitate to contact us (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) if you have questions.
