This is a joint degree where Theatre Studies and Italian are equally weighted. Our course combines in-depth study of the Italian language and culture (including Italian theatre) with the opportunity to explore wider aspects of theatre and cultures.

You don’t have to have studied Theatre Studies before, although it will help your application if you have done so, or if you have had some experience of drama or theatre studies. The proximity of Stratford-upon-Avon and the links between the School of Theatre, Performance and Cultural Policy Studies and the University’s Institute of Advanced Teaching and Learning (set up to develop innovative approaches to learning) make Warwick an ideal choice for those interested in this combination.
