This course combines the broad historical knowledge and well-developed research skills gained in a history degree with the in-depth cultural awareness and advanced linguistic skills that come from studying Italian language, art and culture, which have had a lasting impact on Western civilization. Italian is one of the most studied languages in the world and is spoken worldwide by the Italian diaspora.


Italian can be studied from beginners' level or post-A level (or the equivalent).


You will join two departments with researchers working in various fields and will be encouraged to develop expertise and research skills relevant to both disciplines while also considering the relationships between them. Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff incorporate new research into their classes.


You will follow a structured language course in Italian and explore the rich culture and history of Italy, choosing from a range of units in literature, film, history, thought, politics, and visual culture. Your third year will be spent abroad where you will have the opportunity to explore historical issues in the distinct cultural and social context of Italy. Those who choose to study at a university will be advised to select history-based options. To find out more about studying abroad, visit the Centre for Study Abroad.


You will have the chance to explore the intersections between history and Italian independently through a historically minded dissertation in your fourth year, in which you will be required to use some sources written in Italian. The combined knowledge of history, language and culture will mean you are uniquely placed to foster and to lead intercultural communication across national boundaries.


Teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and one-to-one project supervision. Assessments may include presentations, essays, commentaries, exams, collaborative projects, debates, podcasts, video essays, and dissertations.


Our course will ensure you practise a range of skills, which will make you attractive to future employers in the sector of your choice.


All modern languages students have access to our state-of-the-art Multimedia Centre. You can also access extracurricular activities such as talks by visiting speakers, societies, language cafes, student newspapers, and talent shows.
