Course Requirements
Students are required to complete 28 credit points from Undergraduate Language subjects (e.g., for a student with no prior knowledge of French: FREN151, FREN152, FREN251 and FREN252). The remaining 20 credit points may be chosen from subjects listed under Modern Languages or other Programs in the Arts Course Structures. These will be approved by the Head of the Modern Languages Program.
Assessment
Assessment is by individual subject and will depend on the student's pattern of study. The Modern Languages program uses continuous assessment in all its subjects to ensure that students' progress is monitored throughout the course.
