The French and Italian expand your horizons and achieve fluency in two languages by immersing yourself in the history and cultures of Italy and the French-speaking world. Through this course you will become confident and highly skilled in French and Italian, both written and spoken. You will master the fundamental elements of each language, to the point where you will graduate with a near-native command of both. Direct access to expert staff for help and feedback ensures you develop your language skills to the best of your ability. An integral part of the course is the opportunity to study or work abroad during your third year. You will split your time equally between Italy and a French-speaking country (six months in each), studying at a university or working on a placement. It enables you to directly immerse yourself in the culture and considerably develop your knowledge of both Italian and French. A key advantage of this joint honours degree course is that you can incorporate both study and placement works into the year abroad for a more varied experience. The course provides you with numerous transferable skills in research, analysis, presenting and group working. The experience of studying or working abroad also distinguishes you from non-language graduates, providing evidence of self-reliance, adaptability and enterprise.
