Italian is considered by many the most romantic and musical language in the world. It is the language of one of the richest culinary traditions but also of classical music, art history, design and fashion.

Languages for All
These general language modules are open to all students (for credits or not), members of staff, and members of the public.
Available on a semester basis (11-12 weeks), they aim to develop language competence and cultural knowledge for professional and recreational purposes through small group weekly classes and guided independent learning.
Degrees with Italian in the School of Languages and Cultures
These modules are for undergraduate students undertaking a language degree with the School of Languages and Cultures and choosing Italian in their first year of study. Other options are available to students choosing Italian in their second year.
