Master of Arts (Honours) - Italian and English Literature (RQH3)

Italy, known for its creativity and diversity, boasts a rich and influential cultural history. The joint honors program offered aims to cultivate critical, analytic, linguistic, and creative skills by immersing students in a wide range of texts in both English and Italian, while also exploring various approaches to reading.

Through intensive language training, which includes a year in Italy, students will have the opportunity to enhance their proficiency in Italian, specifically in speaking, writing, reading, and translating.

Situated in the first United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World City of Literature, this program is offered by the oldest department of English Literature in the UK, a department with a long-standing history.

Students will acquire the necessary skills for critically analyzing poetry, drama, and prose, as well as delving into the cultural contexts of English writing from the late Middle Ages to the present.

Upon reaching honors level, students will have the freedom to choose courses based on their individual interests in specific topics, periods, or literary genres.
