A major sequence in modern Greek comprises the above minor sequence plus either third-year level subjects to the value of twenty-four points.
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, from late Byzantium to the nineteenth century. In addition, the study of contemporary Greek and other southern 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 generally and southern Europe in particular. Finally the course on Greek-Australian writing is invaluable for the understanding it gives students of their own particular cultural space.
