The course consists of modules to the value of 60 credits taken from Levels II and III of the undergraduate BA degree in Italian.<br><br>The subject modules will be chosen by you in consultation with the Head of the Department of Italian or the course coordinator, taking into account timetable constraints and suitability of course combinations.
