Students should take units that reflect their level of competence in the language and they should not backtrack, ie they must not:

  • take a level 1 unit after passing a level 2 unit in the same language; or
  • take a level 2 unit after passing a level 3 unit in the same language.

A Languages area 80 credit point major must come from one of the available Language majors and must include the Humanities Internship unit worth 10 credit points.
