Candidates would usually be expected to have the language to A-level, Advanced Higher, Higher Level in the IB or another academic equivalent.

For Czech, Italian, Modern Greek and Portuguese
Please note the different course codes for  Czech, Beginners’ Czech, Italian, Beginners’ Italian, Modern Greek. Beginners’ Modern Greek, Portuguese and Beginners’ Portuguese.

For courses listed as the language only, candidates would usually be required to have that language to A-level, Advanced Higher, Higher Level in the IB or another academic equivalent. The Beginners’ courses allow students to start studying one of these languages from scratch.

In Czech, Italian, Modern Greek, and Portuguese, beginners will receive additional language support, but study together with those who already have A-level (or equivalent) and take the same first year exam.
