About the course:
The Modern Foreign Languages route is designed to equip students to teach National Curriculum MFL across key stages 3 and 4 and to A Level. There is also the option to gain some experience at Key Stage 2. The subject specific element of the course is delivered at our Bognor Regis Campus. The Modern Foreign Languages modules are complemented by a Professional Studies programme which is also based at Bognor Regis.
Entry Qualifications?
Normally candidates will have a degree at 2:2 or above in French, German or Spanish or in a subject where the content can be demonstrated to be at least 50% Modern Foreign Language.

If you are unsure about the suitability of your degree, please contact the course co-ordinator for advice. Applicants also require a second language to A level (or equivalent) in French, German or Spanish. All candidates must have achieved grade C or above in GCSE English and maths (or equivalent). If you meet the entry requirements you will be invited for interview at Bognor Regis. All successful applicants will have to obtain an Enhanced Disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau, satisfy requirements for provisional registration with the General Teaching Council and complete a satisfactory Medical Declaration before commencement of the course.
