Admissions test
No pre-registered admissions test for 2027 entry. Oxford retired the legacy written test for this course family — applicants are assessed on UCAS application, predicted grades, personal statement and interview alone.
Written work
Submit one or two pieces of recent marked school work in the subject (or a closely related humanities subject), normally with the teacher's comments visible. Standard Oxford written-work deadline is 10 November 2026 — each course's admissions page confirms the exact rules.
Interview
Two college interviews of around 25 minutes each. Subject-specific discussion or problem-solving interviews typical of Oxford tutorial teaching. Most interviews are in person at the college; many colleges still offer online interviews for international applicants.

Question Types You’ll See

Discussion of personal-statement readingUnseen-passage commentary or unfamiliar problemSubject reasoning under guidance

Oxford’s interview process for this course is online and falls in December 2026 for 2027 entry.

The interview style is a tutorial-style subject discussion rather than a scripted knowledge test. Preparation should include out-loud analysis of short language, grammar, translation and literature problems: for example, explaining why a translation choice changes register, or noticing how a sound pattern or word ending affects meaning in a short passage.

A short notebook of language observations can be useful: unusual translations, pronunciation patterns, ambiguous sentences, or cultural details in a text. For this course, the point is not to memorise generic “Oxford interview” answers, but to practise explaining how you notice patterns and revise an interpretation.

合否決定のしくみ

Oxford does not publish a formal weighting formula for this course in the checked sources.

The main evidence base is likely to be academic record, predicted grades, reference, subject motivation, language competence, linguistic aptitude, context and interview performance. That fits the shape of the course: admissions tutors need evidence that you can handle both close language work and analytical thinking about language.

The strongest applications tend to make the language-plus-linguistics combination feel coherent. A persuasive application might connect a literature or translation interest to questions about meaning, sound, grammar, register, language change or cultural context.

Section 07

Personal Statement のコツ

Handwritten notes and a laptop open to a draft document

Your personal statement should not read like a travel diary. It should show how you think about language and culture, with specific examples of reading, listening, translation, linguistic puzzles or grammar observations.

For the modern language side, choose one or two texts, films, poems, articles or cultural questions and explain what you did with them. For the linguistics side, show curiosity about structure: sound, syntax, morphology, semantics, pragmatics, language change or language use.

No experience of studying Linguistics is required. That means you do not need to pretend you have already taken a linguistics course; it is better to show a clear question you pursued and what it taught you.

Avoid broad claims about being “passionate about languages”. A stronger sentence might explain how comparing two translations made you notice register, word order or morphology, or how a grammar pattern in your target language changed your interpretation of a passage.

A good project for this course should connect language detail with interpretation. Choose a small question and follow it properly rather than trying to cover several languages at a surface level.

One route is translation comparison: choose a short poem, song lyric, article paragraph or literary passage, then compare two translations or produce your own. Another is a mini linguistic investigation: collect examples of one grammatical pattern, one sound change, one discourse marker, or one recurring translation problem.

Project ideas: compare how two translators handle tone in the same short passage; build a small diary of unfamiliar grammatical structures in your target language; analyse how one pronunciation feature changes across accents or contexts.

その他のサプリキュラム

Other supercurricular work should support the same story: you are becoming a sharper reader, listener and analyst of language. It helps to mix language exposure with active reflection.

These activities support an application, but they are not a substitute for strong academic work.

  • Read short articles or literary extracts in your target language and keep notes on grammar, register and cultural reference.:

  • Practise translation both ways, then write down the choices you made.:

  • Use linguistic puzzles to build pattern-recognition habits.:

  • Listen to interviews, podcasts or radio in your target language and summarise the argument.:

  • Read a short introductory linguistics chapter and connect it to a real example from a language you know.:

Section 08

コンペティション

Competitions are not required. Done well, they can stretch your translation, linguistic reasoning or essay-writing discipline.

  1. Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators — useful for focused translation choices and accuracy under constraint.
  2. UK Linguistics Olympiad (UKLO) — useful for pattern recognition in unfamiliar language data.
  3. Stephen Spender Prize — useful for literary translation and commentary on choices.
  4. Oxford Modern Languages Faculty Language Competitions — useful for language-specific practice connected to Oxford’s outreach activity.

None of these competitions is required; one or two done well beats five half-attempted.

Oxford’s current course page states that no written work is required for Modern Languages and Linguistics. This is a verified change from the registry starting point, which listed written work as true with undefined details.

Section 11

Modern Languages and Linguisticsの知識を深める

Start with the Oxford Modern Languages and Linguistics course page, because it gives the course structure, entry requirements and official course identity.

For international applicants, the Oxford international qualifications page is the safest place to check qualification equivalence. The Oxford interviews guidance is useful before practising tutorial-style discussion.

The Oxford college choice guidance is relevant because applicants need to check practical college fit and whether a college accepts the intended language combination. For language and linguistics practice, use the UK Linguistics Olympiad to build pattern-recognition skills.

The Oxford Modern Languages Faculty language competitions are useful for structured language practice and outreach-linked tasks.

Section 12

カレッジ選択と再振り分け

39 colleges offer this subject. around 20% of applicants submit an open application. around 33% of successful applicants receive an offer from a college they did not specify of places come through the pool.

College choice affects practical fit, not the degree awarded or the central course teaching.

Oxford’s college guidance records that around 20% of applicants make an open application. It also records that around 33% of successful applicants receive an offer from a college they did not specify.

For Modern Languages and Linguistics, the practical college-choice question is whether the college accepts the specific language combination you want to study, as well as whether its accommodation, location, size and atmosphere fit you.

卒業後のキャリア

The sector chart should therefore be labelled as partial-confidence data rather than precise outcome guarantees.

The structured chart groups destinations into education and language services, media and communications, business and consulting, public service, arts and tourism, and other professional sectors.

Section 14

特別な事情について

Oxford considers grades and achievements in context where possible. Applicants should explain school subject constraints where relevant.

For beginners’ routes in German, Modern Greek, Italian and Portuguese, prior study of that beginner language is not required. For post-A-level routes, Oxford normally expects equivalent study or CEFR B1 proficiency if the language is not being taken as a formal qualification.

No experience of studying Linguistics is required. That is important for applicants from schools where linguistics is not available: you can still show analytical curiosity through language work, reading, translation and pattern observation.
