Italian with Film Studies BA

About

Course overview

Your degree will be studied on a 75/25 ratio between Italian and Film 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 your chosen discipline Film Studies.

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.

What this course will give you

We provide an ideal environment for language study. UCL offers an unparalleled range of languages and state-of-the-art facilities, including a well-equipped language learning suite, and many of our academic staff are renowned leaders 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 which will enhance 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 societies 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 with Film Studies degree offers huge scope for developing in-depth, comparative and intercultural approaches to the humanities, 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.
