Description

The study of Italian at university includes the study of both Italian culture and Italian language.

Italian historians, philosophers, economists and political scientists, musicians, artists, architects and cinematographers have contributed significantly to European thought, and Christianity and Classical culture, revived and reworked during the Italian Renaissance, are crucial to the development of Western Civilisation.

A knowledge of Italian is relevant to the study of European political and social history, to those studying music, architecture, fine arts, literature and religious studies. It is also particularly relevant to Australia, considering our large Italian migrant population.

Studying Italian at UNSW

Italian is currently offered at a beginners' and intermediate level within the School of Languages and Linguistics (http://languages.arts.unsw.edu.au/).

Students wishing to undertake a sequence of study in Italian may be able to do so by combining the courses offered by the School and Upper Levels offered by Sydney University.
