Other Information
All
students with previous 'language
experience or exposure' are required to take a language
placement test to determine
their language proficiency in order to ensure enrolment into the language
course at the most appropriate level.
The Course Convenor, in consultation with the Language Convenor will move students into an appropriate level course if students are deemed to be of a different proficiency level. Students are also encouraged to consult their course convenors immediately upon if they find that their proficiency level differs from that expected by the course.
