Faculty of Education

French

French subjects are offered by the Department of French and Italian Studies in the Faculty of Arts.

The language stream or level in which you enrol will be determined by the department. Placement will be based on your VCE results, other language study record or a placement test. A placement test is held for post-VCE and intermediate candidates during Orientation Week each year. Enrolment will remain provisional until confirmed or, alternatively, altered according to students' needs as determined during the first weeks of teaching. As far as possible, changes will be notified in the first two weeks of the semester.

Post-VCE French stream

For admission to first-year subjects (French Part 1), students should normally have obtained a pass in the VCE French examination or its equivalent.

Intermediate stream (first year only)

Students with four or five years of high-school French or equivalent enrol in the Intermediate stream (116-103 Intermediate French 1 and 116-104 Intermediate French 2). Upon successful completion of the programme, students obtaining at least H2A results may proceed to 116-214 French Part 2 (Post-VCE stream). Those obtaining less than H2A results may continue on to 116-201 French Part 2A (Elementary stream).

Elementary stream

Admission to Introduction to French 1A/2C and French 1A/2C will be limited to students who have no knowledge or very little knowledge of French. Admission to French 2A/3C will require a pass in French 1A/2C or in Intensive Beginners French (Summer School), or equivalent.
