Studying languages at uni

Hey, I really want to continue my studies of Italian at university, and potentially even learn French later :) My #1 goal is biomedicine and either melbourne or monash. How does one study a language with a course like this????? is it not possible or? it's not really talked about that much at all at open days

You can do a diploma! I believe it adds one year to your overall course length.

You can also do it through breadth at melbourne without adding time to your degree (and without a formal diploma recognition, although it will be on your transcript).
I imagine you can do something similar at monash, but i'm not sure because lolnash (I don't go there)

If you do well in your 1st sem or 1st year you can overload (5 subjects) without sacrificing breadth so that your diploma can be completed with your undergraduate degree in 3 years instead of the proposed extended 4 years.

I know right! IT is apparently 70 average to get the overload, but would be oretty difficult to balance it out, for me at least... :(

Languages are classes that are easier to overload with, because it's easy to go over vocab or grammar or to read a book on the train!
