Which subjects matter?
Manchester's typical offer is ABB; for two languages one must be taken at A Level at grade B or above. With the IB it is 34 points with 6, 5, 5 at Higher Level.
This is one example school’s requirement; requirements vary by school and country.
Before you apply
The programme takes four years and the third year is spent abroad. Manchester's page does not list careers, so the fields above are general paths for language graduates.
