Year-2 entry students are required to take CHI102 First Year Chinese II, but they are exempted from all other Year 1 courses. Since Years 2 to 4 of the programme include required core courses in Literature, Translation, Cultural Studies and Linguistics, Year-2 entry students who have not previously studied one or more of these subjects are encouraged to audit the relevant Year 1 introductory course(s) (listed below):

Code Course
ENG120 Introduction to Literature
ENG140 Introduction to Translation
ENG153 Introduction to Cultural Studies
ENG160 Introduction to Linguistics

Auditing the course means that you will not be required to complete the course assessments, but you can attend lectures and tutorials, will have access to all the learning materials and can consult the course lecturer for advice.
