French
Major Study
A major in French for beginners or near beginners consists of 66
credit points, and must include 18 cp at 100-level, 24 cp at 200-level
and 24 cp at 300-level, as set out below. Students who have achieved
a strong 2 Unit HSC pass or equivalent may choose to enter the language
sequence at the level of FREN251 and complete a 54 cp major comprising
6 cp (civilisation) at 100-level, 24 cp at 200-level and 24 cp at
300-level, as set out below.
All students wishing to enter the French major at the level of
FREN251 must obtain formal approval from the French co-ordinator.
Subject to the pre-requisites listed in the subject database, language
and literature/civilization subjects may be taken independently
of one another, eg French 1A Language may be taken without also
taking FREN110. However students wishing to complete a major in
French must complete the sequence set out below.
Native or near-native speakers, whose major also consists of 54
cp, may be granted waivers for FREN251 and FREN252. Such waivers
will be granted only at the time of first enrolment in French, in
accordance with the Program's policy and with the formal approval
of the French co-ordinator or the Convenor of Program. Replacement
subjects to make up the 54cp for the major are to be chosen from
the additional subjects listed below. Credit may be granted for
language courses taken at University level in accordance with established
University of Wollongong guidelines.
Note: The subject LING210 is counted towards majors in French,
Italian, Japanese and English Language Studies. The subject LANG305
may be counted towards majors in French, Italian and English.
