Introduction
Incorporating language study in your QUT degree
You may be able to complement your degree by undertaking language study. This may consist of:
a second major (6 subjects / 72 credit points) or
a minor (4 subjects / 48 credit points) or
an option unit (general elective) You can determine if you can incorporate language study in your degree by checking the structure of your course at www.student.qut.edu.au/studying/courses. Important Note: There are some QUT courses which do not permit language study (e.g. there are no general electives available in the course structure) or permit the selection of a Language study area e.g. minor or second major.
Brisbane Universities Language Alliance (BULA) QUT, Griffith University (Griffith), and The University of Queensland (UQ) formed the Brisbane Universities Languages Alliance (BULA) in 2009. Through the Alliance (BULA), you will have the opportunity to select from a broad range of language study areas.
Language Study Areas Language studies are available in:
QUT: Mandarin
Griffith University (Griffith): Japanese, Italian, Spanish
The University of Queensland (UQ): French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish. Important Note for Education Students: 1. From 2014, students who commence the Bachelor of Education (Primary) and Bachelor of Education (Secondary)
are unable to select a LOTE major in their course. 2. Students, who commenced the Bachelor of Education (Primary or Secondary) degree prior to 2014, can continue
their LOTE major and can only select a study area in Mandarin, French, German, Indonesian or Japanese.
BULA Cross-Institutional Enrolment If the language area you choose to study is offered by Griffith / UQ, you will enrol in your language subject as a cross-institutional student. You will apply for cross-institutional enrolment through the Brisbane Universities Languages Alliance (BULA) at www.bula.edu.au.
Do I need to cross-enrol if I choose Mandarin as my study area? QUT teaches Mandarin subjects on Gardens Point campus for students commencing their study at beginners or intermediate level. The Mandarin program also offers a selection of subjects for Native, dialect or background speakers of Chinese. You can access unit synopses for Mandarin subjects at www.student.qut.edu.au/studying/units by selecting ‘AM....’ from the ‘Unit Code’ drop down list in the ‘Unit Search’ box.

QUT students will be unable to enrol in Chinese subjects offered by UQ / Griffith, which are deemed equivalent to subjects taught by QUT. If you are able to study Mandarin subjects offered by QUT, you are not required to apply for cross-institutional enrolment and should enrol through your Study Plan in eStudent (accessible via QUT Virtual). If you have undertaken prior language study or have knowledge of the language, you may be unable to enrol in Mandarin subjects offered by QUT. If you have prior knowledge of Mandarin, you must undertake a placement interview with QUT’s Mandarin Coordinator for advice on your enrolment. If you are advised that the subjects offered by QUT are not appropriate for your proficiency/ability level, you may enrol in advanced Chinese subjects at UQ / Griffith, as a cross-institutional student through the Language Alliance (BULA).

Language Alliance (BULA) Cross-Institutional Enrolment Steps
Note: In this document, Host University refers to the University where you will be studying your language subjects (UQ / Griffith).
Step 1: Check you are eligible to enrol in a language subject in your degree
Eligibility criteria for cross-institutional enrolment
To be considered for cross-institutional enrolment through BULA, the following criteria apply:
1. You must be admitted (enrolled) in a degree program (award course) at QUT e.g. Bachelor of Business
and
2. Be able to undertake language study in your degree program. You must have available space in your course structure (study plan) to be able to undertake a language subject as an option unit (general elective) or be able to select a Language minor or second major.
How can I determine if I can undertake Language study in my Degree?
To determine if you are able to undertake language study in your QUT course:
Review your Study Plan in eStudent (accessible via QUT Virtual)
Check your Course Summary at: www.student.qut.edu.au/studying/courses
If you are still unsure after you have reviewed your study plan or course summary, it is recommended that you consult with your Faculty for enrolment advice. Contact information for your Faculty: https://www.student.qut.edu.au/about/contact
Step 2: Choose your Language study area
Language study is available in the following disciplines areas:
QUT: Mandarin.
Griffith: Japanese, Italian, Spanish
UQ: French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish. Important Note:
From 2014, students who commence the Bachelor of Education (Primary) and Bachelor of Education (Secondary) are unable to select a LOTE major in their course.

Step 3: Plan your enrolment
When can I start Language study in my degree? You should review your recommended course enrolment program (accessible via your Course Summary), to determine when you may able to commence language study in your degree. If you are unsure, you should consult with your Faculty for enrolment (course sequencing / progression) advice. Important Note: If you are permitted to undertake a Language second major (6 subjects / 72 credit points) in your study plan, you should commence your language study in year one, semester one, of your degree, so that you can complete the requirements of the second major within three years.
Language subjects / enrolment The subject you commence your language study in, will depend on your proficiency level. Most language areas offer enrolment streams (programs) for students commencing at introductory level, post-secondary or advanced level. Information on enrolment streams (programs) can be accessed at: UQ: www.languages-cultures.uq.edu.au/study Griffith: www.griffith.edu.au/humanities-languages/school-languages-linguistics/what-can-i-study You should also review UQ / Griffith’s subject outlines for content and assessment information and to identify semester offerings of subjects.
UQ: www.uq.edu.au/study/ Griffith: www.griffith.edu.au/programs-courses When selecting a subject, you must ensure that you meet pre-requisite requirements for enrolment or have been granted permission to enrol via a placement interview.
Important Enrolment Information
Enrolment is your responsibility. You should ensure that the subject you choose to enrol in, can count in your degree program at QUT (e.g. can count in your minor, second major or as an option unit (general elective).
Language subjects are generally only offered once per year (e.g. offered in either semester one or semester two). You will need to take this into consideration when planning your enrolment as well as meeting pre-requisite requirements of subjects. Refer to UQ or Griffith’s Programs and Courses website for unit outlines, semester offering of subjects and pre-requisite information.
Language subjects normally build on the previous subjects’ knowledge and will need to be enrolled in sequential order. If you are yet to complete any Language study at University, you will normally commence your first language subject in a semester one teaching period. Variations however can occur and this is dependent on your language proficiency/ability level and/or semester offerings of subjects.
You may only be able to enrol in one language subject per semester. This is dependent on the language area you choose, your level of proficiency/ability level, semester offerings of subjects, timetabling, meeting pre-requisite requirements and your enrolment at QUT.
You should review your Language subject timetable (UQ or Griffith) as well as your QUT timetable as soon as they are released each semester. You can then review your overall timetable to determine if you can attend all classes or identify if you have any timetable clashes which may require you to adjust your lecture/tutorial times or alter your enrolment at QUT or your language enrolment at UQ / Griffith, so that you can attend all classes.
