Italian is a well established language
section at the University of Essex, Colchester campus, currently
offering a variety of language and culture courses which range from
initial to final honours level, for specialist
and non-specialist students.
All our modules can be taken by
language and linguistics degree students and European
Studies students,
or as outside option courses to complement joint degree schemes offered jointly by the departments of Art History, Literature Film and Theatre
Studies, Economics, Government and many others. Students without any
background knowledge of Italian can fast-track into an Italian language
degree scheme
via the Intensive Initial Italian module which includes a
four-week summer course in Italy (either Florence or Rome).The tuition fees for the summer course are paid by the University of Essex.
Our Modern language degree students
spend their third year abroad.
If they choose to go to Italy they
will study either in
Bologna,
the oldest University in Europe
or in
Trento or in
Urbino. All our modules can also be taken
individually as part of the University's
Open Language Programme.
The popularity of Italian language and
culture is to be ascribed to many
tangible reasons: Italy is one
of the most important centres of fine arts in the
world, it is the cradle of classical music, it offers
abundance of archaeological sites in a unique
landscape and of course, there is a lot more to add about its history,
traditions, design and the Italian life style...
Italian communities in Australia,
Argentina, Canada and America have all contributed to
the promotion of
Italian culture with a consequent interest in
its language.
Many
people today choose to learn Italian because it is beautiful, musical and
expressive, it
is easy to read and fun to speak.
