Italian and Classics BA

Italian and Classics will enable you to focus on both the Classical world and modern Italy. A degree in a modern language with a classical subject offers rich and versatile training that develops advanced skills in critical analysis, communication and creative thinking.

Throughout your degree, you will study Italian language at the appropriate level alongside modules in Italian culture. The Italian side of your degree will extend your understanding of the language, literature, culture, history, society and politics of Italy. On the Classics side of the degree, you can choose between Latin and Greek in your first year and you can continue these languages in your intermediate and final years too. You will have a wide choice of modules on Greek and Roman cultures, and you can explore the connections between the Classical world and the civilisations of Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East.
