Standard university admission requirements.

There are special conditions for entry into the Japanese Major or Minor and the Italian Minor.

Japanese Major or Minor - Native speakers of Japanese who have completed their compulsory education in Japan and/or in a Japanese educational institution overseas (i.e., six years at primary and three years at junior high school) are not eligible to enrol in a Japanese Major or Minor. Other background speakers of Japanese may be requested to complete LST1121 and LST2150 instead of JLS1165 and JLS1275 as part of their Major or Minor.

Italian Minor - Native speakers of Italian who have completed their compulsory education in Italy and/or in an Italian educational institution overseas (i.e. six years at primary and three years at junior high school) are not eligible to enrol in an Italian Minor.

• Students who have taken Italian TEE are also excluded from the Minor, though they can take one or more of the following units as electives:  ITA3311 and ITA3412 externally.

• Students enrolling in any unit of the Italian Minor must disclose the extent and nature of their prior knowledge of Italian, if any (i.e. whether they studied it in Primary or Secondary schools in Australia and to what level) in order to be advised by the Italian Coordinator of the appropriate class to take.  Failure to do so may result in having to withdraw from the unit.

• Students who have completed year 10 Italian in Secondary school need to enrol in intermediate classes and cannot take beginner classes.
