Study
Italian
Learning Italian is accompanied by a fascinating journey through contemporary Italian society and its cinema, media, literature, arts and popular culture. It is also beneficial in several career fields, as Italy is a world leader in the culinary arts, interior design, fashion, graphic design, furniture design, robotics, space engineering, construction machinery and machine tool manufacturing. The Italian language is particularly easy to learn: it shares many Latin-derived words with English as well as the alphabet, and is a phonetic language that is easy to read and pronounce.
The level of proficiency and cultural competence you can reach in just a few semesters equips you to enjoy work and study in Italy, as well as travel. The Italian program is student-centred and promotes reflective independent learning and research-based learning. It takes advantage of new communication technologies and tailored learning resources, and integrates extra-curricular activities such as singing in the Italian choir and conversations with native speakers in the community.
