Overview

Over recent decades, our world has become more interdependent and with these deeper connections comes an enhanced need for enlightened citizenship. The Italian and Yiddish Studies at UCL offers expert teaching and learning in both language acquisition and intercultural contexts that will equip students to thrive in today’s global society.

In Years 1, 2 and your final year, you will take language modules in your chosen languages, as well as cultural modules related to them. Italian language modules are taken at the UCL School of European Languages, Culture & Society (SELCS), while Yiddish modules are delivered by UCL Hebrew & Jewish Studies. You may also take modules offered by the School of Slavonic & East European Studies (SSEES), focusing on literature, film, linguistics and history from an interdisciplinary perspective.

You will spend your third year abroad, split between two countries where your chosen languages are spoken. You will achieve the same linguistic competence regardless of whether you start a language from beginner level or have previous knowledge of it.

Employability

There are many career opportunities for UCL's modern language graduates. We seek to embed within our teaching the acquisition of transferable skills, as well as linguistic and cultural knowledge.

The students hone skills in critical reasoning, independent thinking and application of theoretical concepts, which strongly place you to find employment in international organisations and in careers which cross international boundaries and use languages.
