Italian Studies at Liverpool is a rapidly growing subject and is now available as a Single Honours, Major, Joint or Minor subject. As Major, Joint or Minor subject, Italian can be studied in combination with both language and non-language subjects to offer you the benefits and enhanced employability that language skills and intercultural awareness provide. The Italian language carries an unparalleled cultural capital. The Italian Renaissance laid the foundations for much of western values and culture of the last five centuries. Italy has produced remarkable figures such as Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo, Fellini and Eco, to name but a few. According to UNESCO, over 60% of the world’s art treasures are found in Italy. A founding member of the European Community, today’s Italy is one of the world’s top exporters and is ranked amongst the world’s largest economies; the UK is the country’s third trading partner in the EU. Studying Italian allows you to explore the country’s past and present from a privileged perspective.
