Italian

Introduction

The language and culture of Italy have had a lasting impact on Europe, while today its innovative contributions to design, technology, and fashion mean that globally it is a major commercial force. Italy is both a very traditional and a thoroughly modern society. This tension is apparent throughout its history and culture. The degree programme at Bristol offers the chance to learn the Italian language to the highest level and gain an understanding of the complexity of Italy as a nation through the study of Italian culture from the Middle Ages and Renaissance up to the present day.

Assessment
Italian language is assessed mainly by examination but you will also have weekly assignments to complete throughout the year. Culture units are assessed by essay writing, oral presentations, commentaries, and other exercises.
