Qualification Requirements
Standard requirements: A minimum 2:2 undergraduate Bachelor’s (honours) degree. 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).
Programme-Specific 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. Overseas students will be required to demonstrate IELTS of 7.0 overall with a minimum of 6.5 in each skill. TOEFL IBT 100 overall with a minimum of 25 in writing and 23  in each of the other skills.
