Italian MA

From the Italian Society to the Italian Cultural Institute, many venues in Edinburgh exist to develop an interest in Italian culture, offering students a vibrant cultural landscape beyond the classroom. 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 Romance languages and Mediterranean studies. Studying over four years enables the selection of courses that match individual interests, expertise, and employability needs, providing a comprehensive educational journey. Combined with core courses, these options facilitate the acquisition of versatile skills across the arts, humanities, and social sciences that are highly applicable in the global job market. This programme is unique in Scotland for offering a full academic year abroad within the four-year honours structure, allowing students to gain invaluable international experience whether spent studying at a partner university or working in a professional Italian environment.
