Course summary

As one of Europe's most creative and diverse civilisations, Italy has a fascinating and influential history. Many of the basic concepts underlying Western society found expression for the first time in Latin, the language from which modern Italian derives.Studying Italian and Classics helps us understand the contemporary world, as well as shedding light on the past. Our joint honours programme incorporates a range of option courses, giving you the blend of specialist skills and broad Intercultural Competence valued by graduate employers around the globe.


Italian

Study Italian with us, and you will learn the language in the context of Italian culture. Courses cover some of the most famous and influential works of literature, art and cinema. No previous knowledge of Italian is needed. Intensive language tuition, including a year spent studying or working in Italy, will develop your ability to read, write and speak the language to a high standard with advanced translation skills.


Classics

You can opt to take a Latin, Greek or a non-language pathway through Classics. You will explore the highly influential scholarship and literature of the classical world that gave rise to Western society.
