The study of Italian will enable students to gain an insight into and an appreciation of a dynamic European society and culture. Furthermore, a sound knowledge of Italian, the most widely spoken language in Australia after English, will prove of great benefit to students in a number of fields such as education, communications, business and marketing, information management, health sciences or other areas.
Prerequisite(s):
Italian 1A has no prerequisites. The prerequisites for proceeding to Italian 1B, 2B, 3B and 4B are respectively 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A Italian courses. LANG 1027 Italian 2B are prerequisites for enrolment in LANG 3018 Italy: Close-up: Cinematic Identities and Cultures.
Assumed knowledge:
Students who have completed the beginners stream (1A and 1B) or have studied Italian at Stage 2 level of the SACE certificate or equivalent must enrol in the 2A and 2B Italian sequence.

Notes
- Italian is available as a general studies major (8 courses), sub-major (6 courses) and a minor (4 courses) to both ‘beginners’ and ‘continuing’ students (eg SACE Stage 2 Italian or equivalent). To complete a major/sub-major as a beginner with little or no previous knowledge of Italian, students normally enrol in Italian 1A and 1B in their first year and choose a further 4 or 6 Level 2 and 3 Italian courses in subsequent years. Students who have completed SACE Stage 2 Italian or equivalent normally enrol in Italian 2A and 2B in their first year and complete their major/sub-major from the list of Level 2 or 3 Italian courses in subsequent years. Italian Studies can also be combined with approved courses from International Studies and taken toward a major/sub-major in Languages and Culture Studies — see Languages and Culture Studies major.
-
The offering of some Level 3 courses will be subject to a minimum number of enrolments and these may be offered in alternate years.
