A major in Italian for beginners or near beginners consists of 66 credit points, and must include 18cp at 100-level, 24cp at 200-level and 24cp 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 ITAL251 and complete a 54cp major comprising 6cp (civilisation) at 100-level, 24cp at 200-level and 24cp at 300-level, as set out below. All students wishing to enter the Italian major at the level of ITAL251 or ITAL152 must obtain approval from the Italian co-ordinator.

Native or near-native speakers, whose major also consists of 54cp, may be granted waivers for ITAL251 and ITAL252. Such waivers will be granted only at the time of first enrolment in Italian, in accordance with the Program's policy and with the formal approval of the Italian 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.
Subject to the pre-requisites listed in the subject database, language and literature/civilization subjects may be taken independently of one another, eg Italian 1A Language may be taken without also taking ITAL110.
