Italian and English Literature MA

As a world-leading festival city, Edinburgh is a fantastic place to study a language in its cultural context and alongside literature, providing an immersive environment where academic theory meets vibrant cultural practice. Italian has been taught at this institution since 1919 and has been part of the academic tradition since the 18th century, reflecting a long-standing commitment to the study of Romance languages and Mediterranean history. From the Italian Society to the Italian Cultural Institute, many venues exist in Edinburgh to develop an interest in Italian culture, supported by exceptional resources for studying literatures, languages, and cultures. Studying over four years gives the blend of specialist skills and intercultural awareness needed for a range of careers, fostering an openness to diverse ideas and perspectives. Combining literature with a language is an essential attribute in a global marketplace, equipping graduates with the analytical depth and communication skills valued by international employers across the arts, media, and diplomacy sectors.
