Italian
Italian at Bristol offers students an exceptionally varied curriculum, with options ranging from Dante and the Italian Renaissance to courses on contemporary cinema and 21st-century migration.
Why study Italian at Bristol? Expertise in modern languages has never been more important as the United Kingdom forges a new relationship with its European partners and seeks to develop its trading and cultural ties throughout the world.
Italy’s language and culture have had a lasting impact on Europe. Today, its innovative contributions to design, technology and fashion make Italy a major global commercial force. The Department of Italian at Bristol is one of the country’s largest. Our degree offers the chance to learn the Italian language and gain an understanding of the complexity of Italy as a nation through the study of Italian culture from the Middle Ages to the present day.
You can study Italian at Bristol whether you have an advanced knowledge of Italian already or are a beginner. The structure of the first year depends on your existing knowledge of the language, but in later years your choice of units will not be affected by your level of entry. Whatever combination of subjects you study, you will be working alongside top-quality students in the School of Modern Languages from a range of different disciplines.
Bristol is an exciting place to study arts and humanities, with a thriving cultural life, several art cinemas, concert halls and theatres and a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere.
