Why is this subject for me? Italian is a particularly rewarding and enjoyable language to study, and Italy is one of the world’s most beautiful countries with a rich history and culture that has influenced European civilisa- tion like no other. At UCD, this subject is open to beginners and non-beginners, so if you have a love of languages this is an ideal programme to choose. In today’s world, language skills are growing
in importance and they offer excellent career opportunities in many areas of society and busi- ness. Studying Italian is an excellent first step, and you will have the opportunity to spend a year studying in Italy.
What will I study? You take two language modules per year. In addition you can choose from modules in: Te Making of Modern Italy • Te History of the Italian Language • Te Great Masters of Italian Literature • Italian Current Events • Women’s Writing • Minorities in Italy
You may also apply to spend your third year studying at an Italian university, on an Erasmus exchange. With your language modules and the experience of a year spent in Italy, you should acquire native-like profi- ciency in the language.
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Studying Italian opens the door to many careers including, but by no means limited to: A National and international civil service
A NGOs A Hospitality industry A Journalism A Teaching
Importantly, language skills give you access to employment opportunities throughout Europe. You can also pursue graduate studies at MA or PhD level, in Ireland or abroad.

Going on Erasmus is a not-to-be-missed oppor- tunity. Any student of Italian may apply, but preference will be given to those with better results.
Emma
Farrell GRADUATE
I studied French at school but wanted something new and I absolutely fell in love with Italian. Te small class setting is an excellent learning environ- ment with lots of interaction with lecturers and you make friends straight away. Te best
thing was spending a year living and studying in Italy – without a doubt the best year of my life! In terms of personal development you learn a lot about yourself living in a different country and the friends you make and the experiences you have are like nothing else! It is also an important achievement to talk about in a job interview. Tis has given me the opportunities and skills to go where I want to after college whatever I decide to do!
