Modern Greek subjects are available as complementary subjects in conjunction with the Hellenic Studies Department at La Trobe University.
The Modern Greek program combines the study of the Greek language, with particular emphasis on the spoken and written language of contemporary Greece, with the study of Greek literature, history, society and culture. first-year subjects combine these aspects, while later-year subjects provide students with the opportunity to pursue more particular areas of interest.
Special enrolment arrangements apply. Students should contact the Faculty of Arts Office for application forms and details.
Subject to sufficient enrolment, and the availability of teaching staff, classes will be taught at the University of Melbourne Parkville campus.
Studies in Modern Greek may not be undertaken in conjunction with any other Complementary Course language subjects.
The Hellenic Studies Program at La Trobe University offers three streams of Modern Greek:
Beginners
The beginners stream is available to students with little or no prior knowledge of Modern Greek.
Intermediate
The intermediate stream is usually only available to students who have undertaken four or five years of secondary school Modern Greek or an approved equivalent but not to those who have completed VCE Modern Greek or an equivalent.
Post-VCE
The post-VCE stream is only available to students who have obtained at least a pass in VCE Modern Greek or an approved equivalent.
The Hellenic Studies department determines the language stream or level in which a student is to enrol. Placement is based on VCE results, other language study records or a placement test.
Stream enrolment remains provisional until confirmed or, alternatively, altered according to the student's needs as determined by the Department during the first two weeks of teaching. As far as possible, the Department will notify students of any changes to their stream enrolment during the first two weeks of semester. Where a change is made in the third or fourth week of semester it will be reported to the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies) at Melbourne University.
