Course summary
Learn Italian for the language, the rich culture and heritage, and the career opportunities it will give you. Spend a year abroad studying, working or teaching in Italy, consolidating your language skills, and immersing yourself in the culture. Combine the study of Italian with investigations into the nature of language itself. You'll be taught in Italian from the start, so you'll become confident using Italian as a means of communication, and for critical thinking. You'll gain an understanding of Italian culture and society which will underpin your abilities as a high-level communicator. Italian has close links to Romance languages and to Latin which will greatly enhance your understanding of various languages. Your communication skills and intercultural understanding will be complemented by studying linguistics. In studying linguistics you will learn the science behind how we communicate. You’ll engage with the study of language on a conceptual level as well as the detailed level of raw linguistic data. Our department is one of the highest-ranked centres for research in linguistics in the UK, and the strength and diversity of our research is reflected in our teaching. The course has flexibility in terms of how much Italian and linguistics content you study over the four years. Your knowledge and understanding of how a language works, and how we communicate, will give you a solid foundation for many careers.g.

Ab initio Italian You can only take the Italian part of this programme ab initio (from scratch, or with a qualification at AS level or below) - it is not suitable for those who already have A level in this language. Our language programmes are designed to develop fluency. For this reason we do not normally offer places to native or near-native speakers who wish to study their own language. We may also interview candidates who are native speakers or who have lived in a country where they have been immersed in the language they wish to study, to ascertain suitability for the course.
