The School of European Languages and Cultures teaches eight modern languages
(French, German, Greek, Spanish, Italian, and the Slavic languages Polish,
Russian and Ukrainian), organised in the areas of French studies, German
studies, Greek studies, Hispanic studies, Italian studies and Slavic studies.
There is also a Centre for European Studies. Majors and honours are available
in all the languages, and in European studies. Courses in all the European
languages beyond introductory level contain significant components on the
relevant social and cultural life, linguistics and literature, alongside
language study graded up to advanced levels. Greek and Polish are offered only
at advanced level (post-VCE or equivalent). All other languages may be taken at
beginner (introductory) or advanced level, and some at intermediate level
(refer to the relevant language entry below).
Majoring and in particular honours or fourth-year students are strongly
encouraged to apply for entry to the Monash Study Abroad program, which permits
students to study at an in-country university for a semester and credit that
study towards their degree.
The School of European Languages and Cultures also teaches classical languages
(Ancient Greek and Latin) and offers a minor in Ancient Greek studies, for
which no knowledge of the language is necessary.
For postgraduate courses offered by the School of European Languages and
Cultures, refer to the graduate handbook.
Students interested in studying the classical languages of Ancient Greek and Latin can do so on the Monash Clayton campus due to a collaborative agreement with the Centre for Ancient and Classical Languages at the University of Melbourne. Staff from the University of Melbourne teach a beginners (major) and intermediate (minor) stream in Ancient Greek and Latin at the Monash Clayton campus.
The
aim of the major in European studies is to introduce students to the societies
and cultures of modern Europe. All students intending to major in European
studies are strongly advised to take at least a minor in a European
language.
Students are encouraged to seek advice on their selection of courses and may
make an appointment with one of the following: Professor Barbara Caine
(History); Dr David Garrioch (History); Professor Brian Nelson (French
Studies); Dr Marko Pavlyshyn (Slavic Studies); Dr Geoff Spenceley (Economic
History); Associate Professor Walter Veit (German Studies).
A first-year sequence in modern European studies consists of EUR1010 followed by EUR1020.
A minor sequence consists of a first-year sequence followed by two EUR second-year core subjects to the value of 16 points.
A major sequence consists of a minor sequence followed by three EUR third-year-level subjects to the value of 24 points.
The
honours course consists of EUR4000 plus any further combination of
fourth-year-level subjects in European studies with a combined value of 36
points. The due date for submission of EUR4000 (Research project) is 31
October.
Departments may grant an extension of time for submission of the honours thesis
or for final coursework up to the last day of the examination period of the
semester in which the work is due. Applications for extensions beyond this date
must be made to the Committee for Undergraduate Studies.
Combined honours may be taken in European studies and another discipline
provided that all honours requirements have been met in both disciplines and
subject to the approval of the heads of both departments/centres. Mid-year
entry is offered by this centre.
An agreement exists between Monash University and Swinburne University of Technology whereby students from each institution may take subjects from the other institution. Recommended Swinburne subjects are:
For postgraduate courses offered by the centre, refer to the graduate handbook.
The French course is designed to enable students to develop a high level of communicative competence (including translation skills and specialised registers such as business French) in the French language, and a critical awareness of fundamental areas of French studies: literature, film, cultural theory, civilisation and linguistics. Students will develop writing and research skills appropriate to advanced independent study. Language training is compulsory in each year. The department reserves the right not to offer any subject which does not have sufficient enrolments.
First-year French is offered at four levels:
Several types of minor/major sequences are offered. These are currently under review as part of the restructuring of the French language syllabus. Details will be made available.
All students have the opportunity to participate in the Language Study Abroad Program in France. The Department of French Studies has links with the universities of Angers, Clermont, Lyon III, Nice and Paris III. Grants for study abroad are available through Monash Abroad, to whom applications should be addressed. Grants can also be made available through Monash Abroad for other approved overseas study (eg the New Caledonia Study Abroad Program). Contact the department for further details.

Students may be admitted to honours at fourth-year level if they have completed
a major and achieved an average of 70 (Distinction) at third-year level. See
the entry for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree for details regarding course
structure, combined honours and disciplines. Mid-year entry is offered subject
to places being available.
All intending honours students are strongly advised to take more than the
minimum number of subjects required for admission to honours. It is in their
own interest to do so, since this will increase their linguistic proficiency
and broaden their knowledge of French culture.
Honours students are expected to attend staff-student research seminars. All
honours students are required to give a short oral presentation of dissertation
work in their second semester.
The due date for the submission of final coursework and the dissertation is the
last day of the final semester of the honours program (Friday 2 June in first
semester 2000 and Friday 20 October in second semester 2000).
For postgraduate studies offered by the Department of French Studies, refer to the graduate handbook.
All intending honours students are strongly advised to take more than the minimum number of subjects required for admission to honours. All students are encouraged to choose additional subjects which relate their studies in French to the wider context of European culture and society. They should read carefully the entries for European studies and comparative literature, cultural studies and critical theory.

The fourth-year honours course consists of: (a) FRN4100 Honours dissertation (16 points), FRN4990 Language study abroad program (16 points) and two eight-point subjects, which may include FRN4000 (French language IV); or (b) FRN4100 Honours dissertation (16 points), FRN4000 French language IV (16 points) and two eight-point subjects.
Courses in German studies are designed both for students wishing to specialise in German studies (language, linguistics, literature and their relation to culture and society), and for those requiring a broad education in the humanities and social sciences. The first-year subjects offer a general introduction; in later years a number of options are arranged around core courses. Practical language study is an integral part of all courses.
Three different first-year sequences are offered. A first-year sequence, except with the permission of the head, will normally consist of GRN1115 followed by GRN1125 or GRN1215 followed by GRN1225 or one of GRN1315/GRN1415/GRN1515/GRN1615 followed by the corresponding GRN1325/ 1425/1525/1625.
A
minor sequence comprises:
(i) one of GRN1315/GRN1415/GRN1515 (Advanced language and literature) followed
by GRN1325/GRN1425/GRN1525 respectively followed by the appropriate language subjects
GRN2415/GRN2515/GRN2615 and GRN2425/GRN2525/GRN2625 and the culture subjects GRN2015 and
GRN2025; or for students who have received advanced placement into GRN1615,
GRN1615 and GRN1625 followed by GRN2015 and GRN2025 and eight additional points
of non-language subjects at second-year level; or
(ii) GRN1115 and GRN1125 (Introductory German) followed by the language
subjects GRN2215 and GRN2225 and the reading subjects GRN2055 and GRN2065;
or
(iii) GRN1215 and GRN1225 (Intermediate German) followed by GRN2315 and
GRN2325 and GRN2075 and GRN2085.
A
student wishing to complete a major sequence in German will take one of the
following three sequences.
(i) One of GRN1315/GRN1415 (Advanced language and literature) followed by
GRN1325/GRN1425 respectively in first year, followed by the appropriate language
subjects GRN2415/GRN2515 and GRN2425/GRN2525 and the culture subjects GRN2015 and
GRN2025 in second year. The third part of the major comprises the language
subjects GRN3515 or GRN3615 and GRN3525 or GRN3625 plus 16 additional points at
third-year level. Students who have received advanced placement into GRN1515
and GRN1525 will do a minor sequence as defined above plus 24 points of
non-language subjects at third- year level. Students who have received advanced
placement into GRN1615 and GRN1625 will do GRN2015 and GRN2025 plus eight
points of non-language subjects at second-year level and 24 points of
non-language subjects at third-year level.
(ii) GRN1115 and GRN1125 (Introductory German) followed by the language
subjects GRN2215 and GRN2225 and the subjects GRN2055 and GRN2065 in second
year. The third part of the major comprises the language subjects GRN3315 and
GRN3325 together with the third-year culture subjects GRN3075 and GRN3085.
(iii) GRN1215 and GRN1225 (Intermediate German) followed by the language
subjects GRN2315 and GRN2325 plus GRN2075 and GRN2085 in second year. The third
part of the major comprises the language subjects GRN3415 and GRN3425 plus 16
additional points at third-year level.
Extra
subjects (options) are available at both second and third-year levels. At
second-year level, the appropriate language subject is the pre or corequisite
for the compulsory culture subject offered in the same semester, and the
compulsory culture subject is the pre or corequisite for any options taken. At
third-year level, in the introductory stream, optional subjects are in addition
to the compulsory language and culture subjects. At third-year level, in the
intermediate and advanced streams, the appropriate language subject is the pre
or corequisite for any options taken. Under special circumstances, an
appropriate option may count as part of a minor sequence.
The attention of students is also directed to the programs of the centres for
Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, European Studies, and Women's
Studies, some subjects of which, with the permission of the head, may be taken
as part of their German course.
At the discretion of the head, native speakers educated in a German-speaking
country may be permitted to participate in higher-level language work.
Students who have already taken language work at a higher level will take
another subject in second and third year or undertake additional language work
to the satisfaction of German.
Students wishing to participate in the overseas studies scheme at a German
university should seek information from the Study Abroad coordinator, Dr Kreutz.
The fields in which German desires to sponsor research are:
In second year, students are offered in each semester a culture core and a language core (both of which are compulsory) and additional subjects in German culture and linguistics.
General prerequisite: Sixteen points of German at second-year level. In third year, students in the introductory stream must do GRN3315 and GRN3325 (Advanced German language 1) and GRN3075 and GRN3085 for a total of 24 points, which completes the major sequence. Non-core subjects (options) may be taken in addition to the compulsory core subjects. Students in the intermediate and advanced streams must do the appropriate language core subjects and must choose additional non-core subjects (options) to a value of at least 16 points.
All
fourth-year level, students must take subjects to a total value of 48 points.
Literature honours students must take GRN4415 and GRN4425 or GRN4515 and
GRN4525 or GRN4615 and GRN4625, GRN4335 and GRN4345, GRN4355 and at least one
further subject from GRN4225, GRN4255, GRN4265, GRN4275, GRN4285 or GRN4375.
Students who have already completed Advanced German language 4, parts 1 and 2
will do an additional eight points of non-language subjects. Students may
choose one relevant subject from another school or from the centres for
Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, European Studies, or Women's
Studies.
Linguistics honours students must take GRN4415 and GRN4425 or GRN4515 and
GRN4525 or GRN4615 and GRN4625, GRN4365 and at least two further subjects in
German linguistics, which can include GRN4375, plus an additional eight points.
They may take one relevant subject, normally at fourth-year level, from another
discipline. Students who have already completed Advanced German language 4,
parts 1 and 2 will do an additional eight points of non-language subjects.
With the permission of the honours coordinator, fourth-year students may
complete part of their course at a university in a German-speaking country. In
cooperation with the overseas university, German will draw up courses for
students studying away from Monash (see below under German study abroad
program). Normally, students studying overseas will do so during the northern
winter semester, from October to March, preceding their fourth year. Students
intending to do this are required to make early arrangements with German.
For postgraduate courses offered by German, refer to the graduate handbook.
The
Greek studies section of the School of European Languages and Cultures offers
courses in Ancient Greek studies and in Modern Greek.
Ancient Greek studies is being offered by the Greek studies section for the
first time this year, and at present only a minor sequence is available.
Knowledge of Ancient Greek language is not a prerequisite. Students interested
in acquiring knowledge of the language should consult the 'Classical languages'
section of the handbook.
Modern Greek is available at all levels for students who have passed VCE Modern
Greek or whose knowledge of Greek is at the equivalent level.
A
first-year sequence in Ancient Greek studies consists of AGS1030 and
AGS1040.
A minor sequence comprises a first-year sequence followed by two of the
following subjects, two or more of which will be offered annually from 2001:
AGS2030 (Ancient Greek epic and pre-classical Greece), AGS2040 (Ancient Greece
through its drama), AGS2050 (Ancient Greek philosophy), and AGS2060 (Images of
democracy: early Greek origins).
Students who complete a minor sequence in Ancient Greek studies will have read
a wide selection of primary ancient Greek sources in translation, and will have
demonstrated: a knowledge of the historical and cultural background to many of
these sources, and a context-based understanding of them; a general knowledge
and understanding of the history and culture of ancient Greece from the
Mycenean period to the 4th century BC; a more detailed knowledge and
understanding of some of the major literary, artistic, and/or philosophical
achievements of the ancient Greeks; a more detailed knowledge and understanding
of some of the most important events in ancient Greek history; an appreciation
of the significant role that ancient Greece has played in the history of
Western culture; and an awareness of the difficulties implicit in trying to
understand a historically distant society and culture.
A
first-year sequence in Modern Greek consists of MGR1070 and MGR 1080.
A minor sequence comprises a first-year sequence followed by MGR2210 and
MGR2220 (Modern Greek language IIA and IIB), and MGR2310 (Twentieth-century
Greek literature) or MGR2350 (Nineteenth-century Greek literature).
Students who complete a minor sequence in Modern Greek should develop, through
regular language work over a period of two years, a mastery of more formal
levels of Greek, and become sensitive to the ways in which context influences
language usage. They should also develop an understanding of the way in which
the Greek language has changed over the last two centuries as a result of the
concerted attempt to cleanse the language of 'vulgar' elements, and will
consequently be better equipped to deal with the multiplicity of linguistic
forms that exists in contemporary Greek.
Apart from the study of the language, students will study key issues in modern
Greek history and culture (eg the Great Idea, the Asia Minor Catastrophe,
the Cyprus Problem, the question of Greek national identity) and a selection of
literary texts, which have been chosen not just for their quality but also for
the insights they provide into the modern Greek experience.
A major sequence in Modern Greek comprises the above minor sequence plus
third-year level subjects to the value of 24 points, including MGR3230 (Modern
Greek language: katharevousa), MGR3240 (Modern Greek language:
translation), and MGR3310 (Twentieth-century Greek literature) or MGR3350
(Nineteenth-century Greek literature). The additional subjects available to
students wishing to major in Modern Greek build on the minor sequence by
offering advanced language work in the areas of katharevousa and
translation, and further literary studies that deepen students' knowledge of
the Greek past, both linguistic and cultural. In addition, the study of
contemporary Greek and other European films dealing with the Second World War
and its aftermath is offered, giving students the opportunity to see the recent
Greek past in the context of Europe. Finally the course on Greek Australian
writing is invaluable for the understanding it gives students of their own
particular cultural space.
See
the entry for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree for details regarding standard
entry requirements, course structure, combined honours and disciplines.
Interested students should consult with the head of Greek studies, Pavlos
Andronikos. At postgraduate level, an MA by thesis or a PhD in Modern Greek are
available.
Single honours in Modern Greek consists of a selection of fourth-year subjects
to the value of 48 points. The selection must include MGR4380 (Dissertation)
and MGR4360 (Ancient Greek).
Students wishing to do combined honours in Modern Greek and another discipline
should, in consultation with the head of Greek studies, enrol for a selection
of fourth-year subjects to the value of 24 points.
The Italian studies course is designed to enable students to develop competence in the Italian language and an interest in specific areas of study in Italian literature, linguistics, civilisation and history. The study and practice of language are pursued at all levels of the course. As Italian is the most widely spoken language after English in Australia, some attention will be paid to the Italian language in the Australian community.
Italian is offered either as a major or as a minor sequence, with beginners and post-VCE streams.
Introductory Italian is a beginners course designed for students with little or no knowledge of the language.
A minor sequence normally comprises ITA1010, ITA1020, ITA2010 and ITA2020.
A
major sequence normally comprises ITA1010, ITA1020, ITA2010, ITA2020, ITA3010,
ITA3020 and 16 further points from third-year subjects chosen in consultation
with the coordinator.
Beginners who contemplate an honours program in Italian are strongly advised to
take extra points in the discipline at second and/or third-year levels.
ITA1070 (Italian IA) is for students with a pass in VCE Italian or with equivalent knowledge.
A minor sequence normally comprises ITA1070, ITA1080, ITA2070, ITA2080 and eight further points chosen from second-year subjects in Italian.
A major sequence consists of 52 points. The sequence normally comprises the language core subjects ITA1070, ITA1080, ITA2070, ITA2080, ITA3070, ITA3080 and 24 further points chosen from second and third-year subjects, with at least 16 points at the third-year level.
In certain cases, students with a higher linguistic competence may, with the convenor's and faculty's approval, substitute for ITA1010 or ITA1070 a first-year, first-semester subject in European studies, or another European language. Native speakers of Italian may be permitted to work at a higher linguistic level or take additional points in lieu of a language core subject.
Students from first year onwards, intending to major in Italian, may participate in the Language Study Abroad Program during the non-teaching periods. Italian has agreements with the University of Florence and with the University for Foreigners in Perugia, Italy. Students are eligible to apply for grants for the Study Abroad Program through the Monash Study Abroad Office.

See the entry for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree for details regarding
standard entry requirements, course structure, combined honours and
disciplines.
Honours in Italian will be available within the honours program offered by
Romance Languages. Students may choose an appropriate level of specialisation
in Italian from a range of subjects that may vary from year to year. Intending
honours students are advised to take more than the minimum number of subjects
required for admission to the honours program. Mid-year entry is offered
subject to the availability of places.
Students are encouraged to choose additional subjects which relate their
studies in Italian to the wider context of European culture and society.
Graduates who have completed a BA (Honours) degree in Italian studies at a level satisfactory to the faculty may apply for permission to undertake a PhD or MA by 100 per cent research in the area of Italian studies. For further information on research degrees, refer to the Faculty of Arts section in the graduate handbook.
Students may choose an appropriate level of specialisation in Italian from a range of subjects that may vary from year to year. The honours program will normally consist of either (i) ITA4100 (Honours dissertation), 16 points; (ii) ITA4490 (Language study abroad program), 16 points; and (iii) two eight-point subjects (the beginners stream may include ITA4000 (Italian IV)), or (i) ITA4100 (Honours dissertation), 16 points; and (ii) fourth-year subjects to the value of 32 points chosen in consultation with the coordinator.
Within
Slavic studies, students may take courses which develop competence in Russian,
Ukrainian and Polish, as well as a range of subjects in literary and cultural
studies and in Slavic linguistics. Majors in Slavic are available in Russian
and Ukrainian both to beginners and to students with VCE/HSC in the
corresponding languages. Students may also take a minor in Russian studies
independently of, or in combination with, language-based studies.
In addition to courses described in this handbook, Monash academic staff in
Slavic studies teach the Russian and Slavic program at the Parkville campus of
the University of Melbourne. This program is detailed in the undergraduate
studies handbook of the University of Melbourne.
Minor and major sequences are described under the following headings: Russian, Russian studies, Ukrainian and Polish. A minor sequence consists of a first-year sequence (RUS1010 and RUS1020; or RUS1070 and RUS1080; or RSS1010 and RSS1020; or UKR1010 and UKR1020; or UKR1070 and UKR1080 or SLA1040 and SLA1050) followed by second-year subjects to the total value of 16 points. A major sequence consists of the minor sequence followed by third-year subjects to the value of 24 points.
Where
literature and culture subjects are offered at both second and third-year
level, students enrolled at third-year level will be obliged to write essays
that presuppose more reading, and address questions requiring a more analytical
approach, than essays available to students at second-year level.
In the case of linguistics subjects offered at both second-year (four points)
and third-year (six points) level, the subjects at third-year level are
distinguished by an extra exercise that involves primary sources.
The section also offers literature and culture, as well as linguistics
subjects, at both third and fourth-year levels. Students enrolled in literature
and culture subjects at fourth-year level will be obliged to write essays that
require more theoretical reflection and presuppose more reading than essays
available to students at third-year level. Students enrolled in linguistics
subjects at fourth-year level will be obliged to undertake some research
exercises whose successful completion requires independent work with primary
sources.
The
honours sequence consists of any Slavic major sequence and the fourth-year
course as described under the Slavic studies subheading below. Supervision is
provided in Slavic linguistics as well as in Russian, Ukrainian and Polish
literature, and in comparative literature and literary theory with reference to
Slavic literatures. For details, students should consult the convenor of Slavic
studies.
Students intending to take honours are advised to take more than the minimum
number of subjects required for entry into the program. Students with an
interest in language and linguistics should consider taking subjects in another
Slavic language.
Students planning to take honours with a specialisation in literature or
culture are encouraged to consider taking subjects in critical theory and in
comparative literature and cultural studies.
The study of Russian, Ukrainian and Polish for a Slavic major may be incorporated into the Bachelor of Arts (Languages) and the Bachelor of Arts (European studies) specialised degrees. A minor in Russian, Ukrainian or Polish may be used to fulfil the requirement that a major in European studies must be accompanied by at least a minor in a European language.
The Diploma in Languages is available in Russian and Ukrainian. The Diploma in Languages requires students to complete 48 points consisting of a three-year sequence in their chosen language.
Within Slavic studies, students may undertake graduate work by thesis for the MA and PhD degrees. Research areas include Russian, Ukrainian and Polish literature, comparative literature and literary and cultural theory in relation to Slavic literatures and cultures, and Slavic linguistics, especially contrastive linguistics and the morphology of contemporary Slavic languages.

Courses in Hispanic studies are suitable for students wishing to specialise in the discipline, and for those requiring a broad education in the humanities. Language study is a compulsory part of all courses and is designed to enable students to develop a high level of communicative competence (including specialised registers and translation skills). Optional subjects, covering Spain and the Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, are introduced from the second year, and aim to develop a critical awareness of fundamental areas of Hispanic studies: linguistics, literature, cultural theory and civilisation. All courses develop writing and research skills appropriate to advanced independent study.
SPN1010

Students are admitted to honours at fourth-year level if they achieve
distinction grades to the value of 24 points at third-year level.
Mid-year entry is offered subject to places being available.
All intending honours students are strongly advised to take more than the
minimum number of subjects required for admission to honours. It is in their
own interest to do so, since this will increase their linguistic proficiency
and broaden their knowledge of Hispanic culture.
The due date for the submission of final coursework and the dissertation is the
last day of the final semester of the honours program, whether this is the
first or second semester.
Berwick students intending to do honours will need to complete a major at
Berwick campus (equivalent to 36 points) and take an additional 16 credit
points (options) at third-year level to complete 52 credit points, which is the
minimum requirement to enter the honours program at Clayton. Students must
consult with the honours coordinator before enrolling.
