Philosophy and Modern Languages (Italian)

The BA Philosophy and Modern Languages program at the University of Bristol integrates the study of philosophy with one of six modern languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish. Students can begin language study at either beginner or post-A level, except for Portuguese, which is only available from beginner level. The program emphasizes a strong connection between research and teaching, fostering a dynamic learning environment. Teaching methods include lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and one-to-one supervision, with assessments ranging from presentations and essays to collaborative projects and dissertations. Students spend their third year abroad, enhancing language skills and cultural understanding. The philosophy curriculum covers introductory topics in the first year, followed by specialized optional units in subsequent years, including opportunities for independent study. Modern Languages units focus on language proficiency and cultural topics such as history, politics, literature, and cinema. The program aims to develop critical thinking, communication, and interdisciplinary skills, preparing graduates for diverse career paths.
