Take up Italian and you will open up excellent career opportunities in many areas of business and society. Italian is an exciting language to study – you will have the option to spend a year studying in Italy, one of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating countries. At UCD, you will be immersed in Italian culture, from cinema to history of the language to contemporary Italian writers.

 

Italian culture is one of the richest and most influential in the world, and you will embark on a cultural journey from the Middle Ages, to Renaissance, to modern and contemporary Italy.

 

Italian accepts both beginners and non-beginners. Indeed, most of our students are beginners. So, if you are thinking of stretching yourself with a new language you will be in good company! We strongly encourage our students to spend a year abroad as part of their degree. Studying abroad is a valuable experience, which enables you to perfect your language skills and immerse yourself in a different culture. Alternatively, if you wish to study more than one language, with a year abroad, consider DN541 Modern Languages.
