Languages from Scratch – Beginners Languages Taster Day

Boost your Opportunities by Adding a Language to your University Studies!

If you are set to study Business, Economics, English, History or Politics, consider including a language in your course. It’s a great way to diversify your skills and thus maximise your job opportunities, as well as opening the door to whole new worlds for you to explore.

The ability to communicate across cultures, to understand not just foreign words, but unfamiliar ideas, viewpoints, and approaches, is enriching, satisfying, creative, and sought-after by employers.

If you wish you had kept going with a language in school, this is your chance to try out learning a language at university. Our Beginners Languages Taster Day offers the opportunity to try out languages from scratch in a fun, supportive small-group learning environment and to understand how a joint degree with Business, Economics, English, History or Politics works.

Sign up for the taster day here!

Tuesday 31st March 2026, 11am – 3:15pm

BA Education Studies & BA Education and Psychology

During this taster day our academics Dr David Dobraszczyk and Dr Daisy Powell will give you an insight into our BA Education Studies and BA Education and Psychology courses at the University of Reading.

The taster day will include sessions exploring sociological and psychological influences on childhood and educational outcomes.

You will meet academics and student ambassadors, have a campus tour and have a Q & A session with staff and students.

We will tackle big questions, such as:

How do inequalities shape educational experiences and outcomes?

How could we reimagine the education system to make it more equitable?

Languages from Scratch - Beginners Languages Taster Day

Tuesday 17 February 2026

10:30 to 16:00 with optional tour

University of Reading (Whiteknights Campus)

Sign up for our Languages and Cultures taster day, Languages from Scratch, to discover what it would be like to study Languages as a part of your degree. Suitable for Year 12 students.

Boost your opportunities by adding a language to your university studies: if you are set to study Business, Economics, English, History or Politics, consider including a language in your course. It’s a great way to diversify your skills and thus maximise your job opportunities, as well as opening the door to whole new worlds for you to explore.

The ability to communicate across cultures, to understand not just foreign words, but unfamiliar ideas, viewpoints, and approaches, is enriching, satisfying, creative, and sought-after by employers.

Britain has a language gap which costs the economy up to 3.5% of GDP each year. German, French and Spanish are the top in-demand European languages for employers across a wide range of sectors, from management, recruitment and sales to education, marketing and banking. Graduates who speak another language distinguish themselves, are attractive to employers and often earn more money.

If you wish you had kept going with a language in school, this is your chance to try out learning a language at university.

Our Beginners Languages Taster Day offers the opportunity to try out languages from scratch in a fun, supportive small-group learning environment and to understand how a joint degree with Business, Economics, English, History or Politics works.

graduate from both the degree and the probation.

What's it like day to day?

Being a police constable means that no two days will ever be the same.
But you'll approach each day with the same goal - making the city a safer space for all.

Policing is not all blue lights and fast cars. You'll be working closely with the communities
you serve, protecting them from crime. And you'll do it while pursuing your degree at the same time.

In the course of a week, you might:

Respond to 999 calls for emergencies like robberies, traffic accidents or public disorder

Help victims of crime with emotional support and practical information

Investigate crimes and pursue offenders

Plan and deploy to longer-term operations addressing problems like organised crime, drugs or gangs

Work with partners like local councils, NHS trusts, and schools to prevent crime and make communities safer - participating in community events and joint operations

Visit schools to share crime prevention information with young people

Deliver justice for victims of crime by building a case file and presenting evidence in court.

Who we are looking for

London is one of the most diverse cities in the world. That's why in the Met we welcome applications
from people from all backgrounds who are committed to making a difference for the communities we serve.

The Met is working hard to restore Londoners' trust and confidence. We aim to drive more trust, reduce
crime, and maintain high standards. You can join the thousands of dedicated, honest, committed, and
hard-working officers and staff in our team.

We are looking for people who share our values of integrity, courage, accountability, respect and empathy.
And those who share our high standards of behaviour.

Change is happening within the Met. Whilst that takes time, we want people like you to join and help to make a big difference.

Policing is a 24-hour job, and that means once you join, you'll need to work shifts, including through the night and at weekends.

In addition to the above, you'll also need to meet our standard eligibility criteria:

You must have - or be working towards one - 2 A-Levels or a Level 3 qualification. Training or work experience equivalent to a Level 3 qualification is also acceptable.

You also must have a Level 2 in English at either a GCSE Grade C or above or Grades 4 to 9.

We will also consider an English Language equivalent overseas qualification.

You must be 18 or older to join us, but you can apply when you are 17.

Typically, the upper age limit is 57.

You need to tell us about other jobs or business interests you want to keep up after you join us, so we can check that these do not conflict with working for the Met. This is all part of maintaining our high standards.

Policing isn't easy. Whilst you don't need to be an Olympic athlete to join, you do need to be relatively fit and healthy to cope with the demands of the job.

You will need to pass a fitness test. It's called the 'bleep test'. You will be required to run up and down a 15-metre track, beating a 'bleep'. At the end of each level the time between bleeps gets shorter, meaning you have to run faster. The whole test takes three minutes and 35 seconds and covers a total of 525 metres.

Start preparing now by watching our YouTube video for tips and downloading the Met's six-week training programme. If you fail on your first attempt, don't worry you can try twice more. Find out more on the College of Policing website.

Some medical conditions can prevent you from being able to cope with the physical and mental demands of the job. HM government medical standards information gives full details on illnesses, injuries and disorders that will affect your ability to work as a police officer.

You must meet the police eyesight standards. These are the same no matter which force you join. Your eyesight is tested as part of your medical, which takes place during the application process.

If you're not from the UK, you must be a resident in the UK and have lived here continuously for the last three years. You must also be free from restrictions with indefinite leave to remain.

If you're from the UK, you must have lived here continuously for the last three years. This doesn't apply to those serving abroad in the British Armed Forces.

You can apply to join more than one police force at once, but you can only start the online assessment in the recruitment process with one force.

Everyone joining the Met must be vetted. Vetting checks are an important way to maintain our high standards and reassure Londoners that appropriate checks are done on people who hold a position of trust, such as our officers and staff.

Find out more about the Vetting process.

If you've got a tattoo, you'll need to tell us about it when you apply. We've got a tattoo policy that you'll need to meet.

You can't join with tattoos that are on:

the sides and front of your neck above the collar line

your face

You also can't join with tattoos that are:

discriminatory

offensive

violent

rude

lewd

crude

racist

sexist

sectarian

homophobic

intimidating

political in nature

You can join if you have tattoos on:

your hands

the back of your neck

below your collar line

your ears

behind your ears

Sometimes we will require you to cover up your tattoos for policing events such as ceremonial events.

Pay

The starting salary for this role is £42,210, including all allowances. After three years, you'll graduate
from your degree and the probation, and your salary will go up to £47,475, including allowances.

Over the next five years, your salary can increase each year up to £59,994. Most officers apply to
become a sergeant, the next police rank, after five years as a constable. As a sergeant, you can earn over £63,000.

Benefits

Education and Travel Health and Wellbeing Discounts

As a police constable, the work you do matters. And to thank you for your service, you'll be eligible for several benefits, including

A BSc (Hons) degree in professional policing practice, completely free of cost to you

Free travel inside London, with heavy discounts from up to 70 miles outside London

A public sector pension

Policing is a physically demanding job, so it's important to take care of your health. That's why you'll get:

Access to free physiotherapy

Free eyesight tests and a range of frames to choose from

On-site gym facilities in our buildings across London

Four sport club houses, offering free or low-cost access to sporting facilities to our officers and their families

You'll also have access to a range of discounts, including:

Access to our dedicated discount site, offering money off a host of high street shops, grocery shops, days out, and gyms

Eligibility for the Blue Light Card, which will give you discounts on a variety of things, from restaurants to experiences

Career development and policing specialisms

Completing the training programme opens up a number of career paths and opportunities for you. The Met is the largest police service in the UK, and naturally, offers a wide variety of specialist units and opportunities to progress your career. That includes:

Ongoing training through courses, mentoring and coaching

Promotion and development opportunities into different police specialisms

A focus on your continued professional development through a performance review process

Whatever career path you decide on, you'll get to see a new side of London, learn new skills and discover new strengths in yourself every day. The different roles we offer include:

Neighbourhood policing

Policing major events and demonstrations

Carrying a firearm

Specialist and major investigations, such as homicide and major crime

Dog handlers

Mounted officers

Patrolling the River Thames on and below the water

Counter Terrorism

Training

Your first week is a three day introduction to the Met with the remainder spent at your university.

You then complete 16 weeks initial learning at your university, covering:

policing, the law and police powers

protection, vulnerability and public protection

policing communities, response policing and investigating crime

police leadership, coaching and mentoring

officer safety training

emergency life support

safeguarding

crime investigation and operational policing skills

The next eight weeks you will spend working in a police team, based on a London borough. This will be alongside a dedicated experienced police officer acting as your 'tutor constable'. This is called street duties, and is where you can put into practice what you have been taught in the classroom.

You'll return to your university at two different times for a three-week period each time. And in year 3, you'll get the chance to undertake research in an area of policing you're interested in. You'll then present your research through an academic poster and short briefing.

You'll spend building on everything you learn, work in a number of different policing roles, from responding to emergency calls from the public to policing London's neighbourhoods and working directly with communities. Each role will help you advance your skill set, enhance your knowledge and help you gain valuable experience. You'll also be required to complete operational and academic assessments from time to time, including exams, essays and presentations.

How can you become a Police Constable?

It can take up to six months for the entire process to be completed, but the career that you will be building is worth the wait.

It will not only change your life but also the lives of Londoners everywhere.

Step 1: Online registration form and application

First, you'll need to submit an online registration form and an application form to make sure you pass our basic eligibility criteria.

A basic security check will be conducted, which takes around seven days.

Step 2: Behavioural styles questionnaire

This is a short, online assessment designed to check if you have the key behaviours and values we look for in our police constables.

We usually get back to you after around two weeks.

Step 3: Your online assessment

The online assessment is made up of three exercises:

Competency-based interview: use examples from your work and personal life to answer a series of questions.

Written assessment: complete an urgent written task whilst assuming the role of a police constable.

Briefing exercise: read the material and answer questions based on what you have read as if you were a police constable.

You should complete this stage within about three weeks of Step 1. You can expect your results within three weeks of completing the assessment.

Step 4: Face to face Met Assessment

We'll invite you to our Met recruitment centre in South London for an interview focused on our values. You'll also complete a medical and fitness test in this stage.

You'll usually attend this within about three weeks of receiving your online assessment results. You can expect your results within four to eight weeks, depending on personal circumstances.

Step 5: Pre-employment checks and vetting

These checks are there to make sure we are recruiting police officers who meet our standards of behaviour and share our values. The length of time this takes can vary. On average, it takes about two months.

You can find out more on the vetting process.

Step 6: Offer of employment

If you're successful, we'll make you a formal offer of employment and discuss the best date for you to join.

Be part of this change. Our careers are open to members of every community.

I wanted to let you know about a new degree apprentice opportunity we've just started to advertise for a position starting in August/September 2026. This is the very first time we’ve offered an apprenticeship in our ecology team and we’re really keen to get it off to a strong start by attracting lots of applicants. We've set up the programme because we want to help increase diversity in the sector - careers in ecological consultancy often require degrees, and long periods of volunteering or casual work to get a foot in the door, which can be a barrier for many. Our apprenticeship is designed to provide a more accessible route into the profession, combining paid, hands‑on experience with structured training.

It would be fantastic if you could share details of the apprenticeship with your students, and I’d also love to know if you have any upcoming careers fairs or events where we could promote it directly. I'd also be more than happy to answer any questions you or your students have on it or careers in ecology in general.

I've linked the advert - https://careers.jacobs.com/en_US/careers/JobDetail/Apprentice-Ecologist-Level-6-Reading/33370 (it's also listed on the gov.uk website). Students who will be sitting exams this year are welcome to apply, as we can assess their application based on predicted grades and issue conditional offers based on those.
