Italian and Management Studies BA

About

Course overview

Your degree will be studied on a 50/50 ratio between Italian and Management Studies.

In your first, second and final year you will take language modules in Italian and the literature, culture, history and linguistics related to it, as well as modules in Management Studies (please also view the UCL School of Management's Joint Study Programmes pages).

You will spend your third year abroad in a country where Italian is spoken, studying at a university or doing a work placement. You will achieve the same linguistic competence regardless of whether you start a language from beginner level or have previous knowledge of it.

Over the four years, you will deepen your knowledge of the Italian language while also developing valuable skills in cultural literacy and critical thinking.

What this course will give you

We provide an ideal environment for language study. UCL offers an unparalleled range of languages and facilities, including a well-equipped language learning suite, and many of our academic staff are experts in their fields.

The Year Abroad gives you the chance to attend a university or work overseas. During this time, you will finesse your language skills in Italian and gain valuable experience, enhancing future learning as well as career prospects.

UCL has a very international population meaning you will meet people from all over the world, which provides numerous opportunities to practise and speak Italian with native speakers and learn about the associated culture and society from them.

Our location in London provides access to frequent and varied cultural events, a huge range of museums, galleries, specialist libraries and bookshops, theatres, cinemas, cuisines and cultural societies.

Our Italian and Management degree offers huge scope for developing in-depth, comparative and intercultural approaches to the humanities and management studies, as well as near-native language skills. You will be able to choose from a wide range of modules including literature, linguistic traditions, history, sociology, philosophy, art, film or other aspects of the cultures associated with Italian.
