Our aim at School of Modern Languages and the School of History, Archaeology and Religion is to develop and educate our students to become ‘global citizens'. By combining Italian and Ancient History, you will gain a variety of transferable skills and knowledge beneficial to the world of employment, making you competitive and attractive in an increasingly global workforce and opening the doors to a variety of career paths. The Ancient History courses cover the period from the Aegean Bronze Age to the fall of the Roman Empire in the west and its survival in the east as the Byzantine Empire. There is a balance between modules covering specific historical periods and those that examine broad social and cultural topics, such as warfare, gender, religion, art, medicine and science. This programme enables you to explore and understand Greek and Roman history, whilst developing your Italian language skills. In addition to developing high-level Italian language skills, students gain an in-depth intercultural understanding that encompasses a specific knowledge of Italian cultures. You will develop high-level communication and critical-thinking skills, and foster resilience and independence through time spent in immersive foreign language contexts. Italy is a major actor on the European and world stage, possessing a rich and sophisticated culture. Italian is one of the official working languages of the European Union and the United Nations. We offer Italian for both advanced students and beginners. In your first year, in addition to your language tuition, an introduction to Italian history and culture seeks to provide a solid foundation for more specialised studies as you progress through your course.
