A more connected world demands language skills. Expand your horizons and immerse yourself in the history and cultures of the Italian-and Spanish-speaking worlds. Through this course you will master the fundamental elements of the Italian language and can expect to become confident and highly skilled in written and spoken Italian. You will learn both languages in the political, social and cultural contexts of the countries in which they are spoken; this considerably enhances your understanding of the languages and also provides you with the knowledge to live and work in these countries. In Italian, you will have the opportunity to study with leading academics on topics ranging from Dante, Machiavelli and Michelangelo to fascism, the history of the language, the resistance, Fellini and contemporary culture. In Spanish, you can study a wide range of optional modules in Spanish and Latin American culture, history, literature, politics and film with staff who are internationally-recognised experts. Our small language classes, led by native speakers, and direct access to expert staff for help and feedback ensures you develop your language skills to the best of your ability.
