Ibero-American Studies: Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan (La Trobe University)
These subjects are offered as complementary subjects in conjunction with La Trobe University. Special enrolment arrangements apply; students should approach the Arts Faculty Office for details. Spanish 1B, 1C and 2B will be taught at The University of Melbourne, Parkville campus. If student numbers are sufficient, and subject to teacher availability, other classes may also be held at the University of Melbourne Parkville campus. The language stream or level in which a student enrols will be determined by the Department. Placement will be based on the student's VCE results, other language study record or a placement test.
The Spanish Department at La Trobe University provides a comprehensive range of subjects within the general area of Hispanic and Iberian studies, that is, Spanish language, literature and linguistics at a number of different levels; Portuguese language in both its forms (those of Portugal and Brazil, spoken by more than 150 million people); and Catalan, the language of some 7 million Spaniards. Spanish Latin American literature and culture also occupy an important place in the Department's offerings.
A major in Spanish (or Ibero-American Studies for students undertaking Catalan or Portuguese in later years) is only possible for students who commence Spanish study during the first year of their BA. Students commencing Spanish during later years will not be able to complete a major in Spanish or Ibero-American Studies due to the structural constraints of the BA degree.
Studies in Spanish, Portuguese or Catalan cannot be undertaken concurrently with any other Complementary Course language subjects. Students should note that it is not possible to undertake more than two languages for credit towards the BA degree.
