Italian and Theatre Studies BA

Italian and Theatre Studies is a joint degree, equally weighted between both disciplines and studied in both departments. This degree allows you to develop an in-depth knowledge of Italian language and culture while also exploring theatre and performance studies through both practice and theory. You will graduate from the course with specialist knowledge and skills in the theatre, and as a highly qualified linguist with advanced intercultural skills.

An Italian and Theatre Studies degree will allow you to combine two specialisms. Firstly, you will be able to develop and refine your skills as a linguist through a programme of modules exploring the Italian language and the culture, history and politics of Italy. Alongside this, you will pursue your interests in theatre, with core and optional modules on topics including historiography, theatre in European and African contexts, applied theatre, and playwriting. You benefit from the full range of expertise on offer in both departments and will be able to explore the synergies between the two subject areas.
