Italian Studies
Italian studies can be taken as a minor with French, Spanish and German or a range of non-language subjects.
We are one of the best-established centres in the UK for Italian. We can cater for students with GCSE Italian and for complete beginners (please note that we do not offer advanced - post-A/AS level Italian). The minor path incorporates language studies and cultural studies. Our approach is very broad and we offer courses on art, architecture, cinema, history, and institutions.
In order to take the Italian minor, you must do Italian as one of your three subjects in the 1st year.
Part I
In the first year, you can take ITAL 100, as one of your 3 subjects. This course provides an intensive introduction to the Italian language and is designed to equip you grammatically and linguistically for further study of Italian. In addition, lectures and seminars on Italian culture and its European context will further your knowledge of contemporary Italy.
