Description
The Italian studies program aims to assist students as they gradually develop their linguistic competence, both passive (understanding and reading) and active (speaking and writing). It also helps students to expand their knowledge of important areas of Italian culture; history, society, language, literature, film and theatre. Each proficiency level sequence has a cultural component as well as a language component. Italian has three entry points, all of which lead to either a minor or a major sequence. Students who complete a major sequence with good results may undertake honours at fourth-year level. A proficient exit point is the minimum required for entry to the honours year.
Right of school to determine entry level and approve accelerated enrolment
The Italian studies program convenor retains the right to determine the proper proficiency level for any particular student. Students are not permitted to accelerate their enrolment without first consulting the program convenor.
Non-arts students
In some non-arts courses students are able to take arts electives and count them towards their course.
Students who decide that they want to study a language as part of their non-arts course should:
- discuss with their home faculty whether they are allowed to include language units as part of their course
- check with their home faculty how many units/credit points they may study and at what year-level
- how to select the appropriate language units in which to enrol.
Language Study Abroad program
Grants are available to second and third-year students who intend to study in Italy. Students have the possibility of attending intensive six-point units at first and second-year level at the Monash University Prato Centre. Honours students are strongly encouraged to study for one semester in an Italian university (preferably at the University of Florence or at the University of Bologna) as part of their honours degree. See the lists of units below.
Note: Depending on the teaching institution, Italian study abroad units may be CSP-liable or only available on a fee-paying basis. Students may be eligible to apply for Monash Study Abroad grants.
