Overview
Italian is a language that evokes music and literature, art and cinema and world-famous cuisine. Beautiful and expressive, it is the language of the poetry of Dante, of high fashion and of classical opera. Modern Italy is one of the leading international economies and a founding member of the European Union.
At Victoria our programme in Italian is designed to give you a broad, supportive introduction to speaking, reading, writing and understanding the language. You will learn basic grammar, how to hold a conversation and some simple composition. After building on that foundation, later in your degree you will be ready to study more about Italy and the Italian language through fiction and drama, poetry and film.
You can take Italian as a major for your Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree, or as part of a Bachelor of Arts in Modern Language Studies.
