Modern languages at Cambridge, help a mum

Hello

DS is thinking of applying to Cambridge to study Russian. He he doing A levels in Russian, philosophy, maths and English. His heart is set on Cambridge since he did a school trip there a few years ago.

I don't think it's an unrealistic aim as he is on tracks for A stars and has very good GCSEs but I don't really understand how it works- can you apply just to read Russian or would it need to be with another language (which he doesn't have)? I've been on the website but am finding it a bit confusing (I am obviously not the brains of the operation 😃)

Does anyone here have DC doing languages at Cambridge? Can you shed some light?

If he does Russian and the second language from scratch then surely a possibility would be to go to the second language country for year abroad. It would help him learn the new language and would be safer.
