Course summary
Delve into studies of the past, exploring Italian languages and cultures as you go. Spend a year abroad and discover new ways of viewing the world. At York, we have a unique approach to studying languages. From the start, you'll be taught and assessed in Italian by expert staff, many of whom are native-speakers, so you'll develop your fluency and communication skills rapidly. Our transcultural and decolonised approach to language learning allows for deeper reflection on the values, attitudes, and practices of different cultures. You'll join two departments which are highly respected for their research, scholarship and teaching. Combining Italian studies with History will allow you to uncover the forces that have shaped modern societies and cultures, as well as the issues prevalent today in Italian-speaking countries. You'll graduate with an exciting perspective of history and your place in the world. Spending a year abroad will give you confidence in your speaking, and allow you to have valuable first hand experiences of transcultural encounters.

Ab initio You can only take the language 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.
