Italian with Chinese

Optional modules in Italian range from contemporary Italian culture and comparative literature to the study of aspects of Medieval and Renaissance thought and culture. Your year abroad is normally spent studying at an Italian university, working alongside Italian staff and students, improving your knowledge and understanding of the country and culture which you have chosen to study. You can, however, choose to spend your year abroad either in Italy for the whole year, or you can split your time between Italy and China.

In the intermediate and final years you can choose from a range of advanced modules in the department and, in the final years, you can choose to research a dissertation if you wish.
