The four-year BA (Language & Cultural Studies)

At the end of First Year, students can opt to register for the BA (Language & Cultural Studies - Italian), a four-year Honours degree, with the Third Year spent studying Italian and the student's other subject at a partner university (Udine, Venezia, Padova, Genova, Bologna, Firenze, Siena , Roma Tre). Italian can also be taken in the BA (LCS -French) and BA (LCS - German).

In addition to offering students a wonderful opportunity to improve their language skills and to experience Italian culture first-hand, the Year Abroad allows them to demonstrate maturity, independence and initiative, qualities which are much appreciated by prospective employers.
