As a Bachelor of Philosophy (Hons) student you must study at least ONE language unit during your degree. You can choose from any of the languages offered at UWA. There is no particular year that the language unit must be taken in and it is not necessary to choose a language as a major, a minor or to study language units for the entire duration of your degree. You may choose to complete a language unit while on exchange.

This requirement also applies to students enrolled in the combined degree Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/ Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours).

Students enrolled in the combined degree Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)/Bachelor of Modern Languages meet this requirement by completing their language major.

For example:

• If you take a single unit of Chinese in semester 1 of your 1st year and then decide not to continue with any more Chinese units in semester 2 - you have met the language requirement.
• If you take Italian as your major and study multiple Italian units every year of your degree - you have met the language requirement.
