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

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. Linguistics explores how language works: how it is structured, interpreted and used. This degree will allow you to develop an understanding of human communication using approaches from the arts and sciences that will equip you with a variety of skills. Core and optional modules will allow you to explore topics such as language acquisition, syntax, language change and death as well as phonetics - the study of how speech sounds are physically produced.
