"I came to Italian with stereotypical views and vague expectations. Thankfully, Italian at UCD had bigger and better challenges for me, and I continue to be surprised and delighted by them. The staff don’t just deliver a wonderful learning experience – they are part of that experience."

Choosing Italian Italian can be taken as part of the Joint Honours (DN500), or on a part-time basis (DN501). Italian accepts both beginners and non-beginners. Opportunities exist for suitably qualified students to spend an extra year abroad at a university in Italy, and graduate with a BA (International). If you wish to reach the level of linguistic proficiency required by employers, we recommend that you opt for the four-year BA (International) degree. Alternatively, if you wish to study more than one language, with a year abroad, consider DN541 International Languages (see page 50). Review the other subjects you can study with Italian by looking at the diagram on page 35.
Why is this subject for me? In today’s world, where language skills are growing in importance, Italian is an exciting language to study. Not only will you enjoy learning Italian, you will also open up excellent career opportunities in many areas of business and society. You will have the opportunity to spend a year studying in Italy, one of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating countries.
What will I study? You will study language modules each year and also choose from modules including: The Making of Modern Italy ¬Women’s Writing ¬Great Masters of Italian Literature ¬ The History of the Italian Language ¬ Minorities in Italy
Other courses of interest International Languages
Commerce International
Language modules are taught in small groups, and literature and culture modules are taught through lectures and tutorials.

"Tá níos mó foghlamtha agam ná mar a shamhlaigh mé riamh. Baineann mic léinn na hIodáilise tairbhe as ranganna beaga agus as caidreamh oibre iontach le léachtóirí. Tugann an cúrsa deis agus taithí spreagúil do mhic léinn staidéar a dhéanamh san Iodáil ar feadh bliana. Tá an chéim seo thar a bheith taitneamhach agus faigheann céimithe na tréithe agus na scileanna a bhíonn ag teastáil ó fhostóirí."
Cillian Ó Maolmhuaidh Student
Assessment is through a combination of continuous assessment and end-of- semester exams.

International Study Opportunities We recommend that after second year you complete an Erasmus year at an Italian university (Cagliari, Macerata, Milan, Rome, Trento or Urbino) to achieve the level of proficiency required by employers and for graduate studies.
