Italian B and Japanese BA

Learn two major world languages from scratch and deepen your understanding of the modern world by exploring the history and culture of the nations that speak them on this fascinating 5-year course.

You will have the opportunity to spend two years abroad, with a year in Italy and another in Japan, which will provide you with invaluable first-hand experience of the languages and let you fully immerse yourself in the cultures of the regions.

A combination of core and optional modules will give you a firm grounding in the languages while you study the topics that suit your interests including medieval and Renaissance art and literature, cinema, specialised uses of Italian in business, Sino-Japanese relations and East Asian religions.
