Arabic and Italian | Bachelor's degree | Languages | On Campus | 4 years | University of Leeds | United Kingdom

Arabic is a vital language for understanding societies in the Middle East and the Islamic world. If you've never studied the language before, this degree will allow you to learn the language from scratch while gaining an insight into Islamic thought, Arabic culture and Middle Eastern History. A combination of core and optional modules will give you a firm grounding in the language and Arab and Islamic History while you study the topics that suit your interests. If you have A level Italian or equivalent, Italian A will allow you to become fluent in a major European language while exploring Italy's fascinating History and rich culture. Core modules will develop your language skills and introduce you to Italian cinema, art, literature or History. But you'll also choose from an array of optional modules that reflect our diverse research interests, from Dante and Renaissance art to the writings of Italo Calvino, or specialised uses of Italian in business.
