The Department of Italian Studies is one of the largest and best resourced in Australia, offering a wide range of language and culture units of study. Our language units cater for those at different levels and, through innovative teaching methods, aim to develop high levels of linguistic aptitude. Culture units will allow you to develop in-depth understanding of some of the most representative Italian authors, thinkers and literary and intellectual movements from the Middle Ages to the present.

You will engage with both language acquisition and cultural studies, in order to gain a deep understanding of the close connection between language and culture. All units of study aim to develop your analytical and critical skills, to enable you to pursue your interest in all aspects of Italian language, literature and culture.

You will also be able to take advantage of the opportunity to spend a semester in Italy as part of your undergraduate studies with one of our Italian partner universities.
