The 36u of courses in a single language are expected to start with a course typically only offered in Semester 1 (February start) each year and then be completed in sequential order over three years.

However, if you wish to commence your studies in Semester 2 (July start) and complete within three years, then you will need to demonstrate a sufficient level of language proficiency, either by placement test or with permission of the course convenor.

• Asian Languages - Language Proficiency Assessment (LPA)
• European Languages - Language Placement Test
• Middle Eastern Languages - Language Placement Test

Alternatively, for those commencing in Semester 2 (July start) without relevant prior language experience, please discuss a study plan with CBE Student Services that spreads your study over 3.5 years, instead of the regular 3 years study duration.
