Stream Outline
This stream structure is for students commencing prior to 2016.
Students commencing from 2016 should refer to the relevant stream version for their program. Please click here for a complete list of programs in which Italian Studies can be studied.
Italian Studies enable you to explore the long and fascinating linguistic and cultural heritage of one of Australia’s most important migrant groups and equip you with appropriate knowledge and skills for communicating in the Italian language. Through language study, you will acquire an understanding of the social and cultural contexts in which the Italian language is used and develop an understanding of Italy, its place in the world and its legacy in Australia.
At UNSW, Italian Studies combine the teaching of practical language skills with the study of history, society, culture and customs. You will gain knowledge and skills relevant to a wide range of career paths from business, trade and commerce to diplomacy, tourism and the media.

Placement Information
Introductory Italian courses are designed for students with little or no knowledge of Italian. Students with prior knowledge should contact the UNSW School of Humanities and Languages online placement questionnaire for appropriate placement.
Placement into senior level (ITLN2xxx) courses at the University of Sydney depends on a student’s prior knowledge of the language. Please consult the University of Sydney Handbook under the Subject Areas tab for more information.
Cross-Institutional Arrangement with University of Sydney
Students who are undertaking Italian Studies as a minor may complete some components of their study through cross-institutional study at the University of Sydney. Students who successfully complete Italian courses cross-institutionally will have their results reported as transfer credits at UNSW, that is, specific grades will not appear on their UNSW transcript.
Commonwealth-supported students (domestic undergraduate students) in a UNSW program will pay the student contribution amounts at the University of Sydney for each course. International students will pay the corresponding tuition fees.
Students will be required to pay the Student Services and Amenities Fees (SSAF) at the University of Sydney. They may seek a refund for the corresponding UNSW fees if they are concurrently enrolled at UNSW.
Students are responsible for all travel and any ancillary or incidental costs or expenses.
Students undertaking cross-institutionally study at the University of Sydney are responsible for ensuring that all the requirements for their application are completed and submitted by the deadlines advertised.
The cross-institutional arrangement with the University of Sydney is subject to annual review by both Universities. It may be discontinued or varied at any time at the Universities’ sole discretion. If the arrangement is discontinued, UNSW will put in place alternative arrangements so that students can finish their study.
Please note, students who are considering cross-institutional study should contact the UNSW Arts and Social Sciences Student Centre.
