Programme Structure

Modules include:

The course you study in first year depends on how much Italian you have studied before. If you have an SQA Higher or A-level in Italian (grade A or B), you will take non-beginners’ language and culture courses.

The first-year language and culture course leads to Italian 2, which extends and develops your linguistic skills and builds your knowledge of Italian culture, including the study of texts and films.

If you progress to Honours you will spend your third year abroad, normally either working as a language assistant in a school or studying at a university. The University has a number of exchange programmes and will provide support and advice.

In addition to further language work, our two-year Honours programme enables you to choose from a wide range of options including literature, cinema and other areas of culture.
