ANU offers an outstanding variety of programs for Australia's next generation of language leaders, with more languages offered than at any other university in Australia. B Languages is a wonderful way to take advantage of that, through the study of two (or more) languages, in combination with other areas of interest. Your language education experience is designed to engage you with the structural, grammatical and idiomatic components of your chosen language or languages. This is further contextualised using cultural, social and historical concepts, issues and topics. You may start anywhere from beginner to higher levels, dependent upon your experience in your chosen languages. Exciting opportunities exist for you to immerse yourself in your chosen language and culture through study abroad, and to combine your language study with a range of other areas.
No prior knowledge of the language you are studying is required. If you have prior experience in the language you are studying you must take a placement test and may be exempt from introductory language subjects.
