Course Description
As one of Europe's most creative and diverse civilisations, Italy is the birthplace of many influential artists and art movements.
Studying Italian and History of Art helps you understand the contemporary world, while shedding light on the past.
During your time with us, you will gain the skills to talk and write in Italian on a range of issues relating to Italy and the Italianate world, including its visual and material culture.
When you graduate, you will have the combination of broad cultural education and specialist knowledge valued by employers worldwide.
Italian
Study Italian with us, and you will learn the language in the context of some of the world's 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.
