Anthropology and Italian University of Malta

Overview

Anthropology:

During your Anthropology and Italian course of studies at University of Malta, you will learn about the social, cultural, biological and linguistic aspects that comprise anthropology. Your knowledge on these areas may also culminate into a research-based dissertation that you will carry out in your final year of your programme of study. 

By studying about the origin and contemporary standing of anthropology, you will be provided with a wide spectrum of facets that will contribute to a more holistic understanding, ranging from evolution and society, to psychoanalysis, migration and post-colonialism, to name a few. They will also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as they believe that an international and multi-cultural experience will provide you with a more holistic learning outcome.

Italian:

Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.

The programme of study in Italian will give you an academic perspective of the language, literature and culture of the Mediterranean country. Being an important historical country, it is inevitable that it has been influential in a variety of ways. During the course they will broaden your literary horizons with a keen focus on Dante Alighieri's Epic poetry, along with other notable Roman and Italian figures who have contributed to its national literature. 

Apart from studying modern and contemporary Italian literature in its visual mediums, they will also refine your morphological, syntactical and lexical abilities in the target language. They also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a diversified and multicultural academic experience.
