History and Italian (VR13)

History and Italian (50% Italian, 50% History) is a joint degree equally weighted between both disciplines and studied in both departments. You study Italian language at an appropriate level and foundational modules providing a grounding in History and in methods of critical enquiry relevant to the study of Italy in year one. Throughout your degree you will study Italian language at an appropriate level.

Your second year will be spent studying at an Italian university alongside Italian students and immersing yourself in Italian culture. After the Year Abroad, you study Italian language and choose from a wide variety of options in both departments. Optional modules range from studying early and modern history to exploring the cultural approaches to contemporary Italy. In your fourth year, along with other core and optional modules, you will also research and write a dissertation bridging the two disciplines.
