Structure
100 credit points
The Diploma consists of a three-year sequence of first-, second- and third-year language study and may add up to one year to the duration of the student’s degree course. See the Diploma course structure for details.
A 100-point diploma sequence is available. The sequence is as follows for the three most common entry points:
- Italian Studies 1 entry point: for students who have little or no background in the Italian language.
- Italian Studies 3 entry point: usually for students who have undertaken four or five years of secondary school Italian.
- Italian Studies 5 entry point: usually for VCE Italian students.
- Italian Studies 7 entry point: usually for native speakers or near-native speakers of Italian, or for candidates who have spent a number of years in an Italian speaking country.
Students will have their appropriate entry point determined by the Italian Studies Program, based on evidence of prior learning and/or results of a placement test as required. Please refer to the following link for further information:
