This joint-honours degree offers you the chance to learn Italian, achieve a near-native level of fluency, and study all aspects of philosophical thought and theory during your degree. Being able to speak the language of another European country combined with having a traditional humanities degree is a great way to impress employers in any profession, and lays the perfect foundation for an international career. Between Stages 2 and 3, you spend a year studying or working abroad in Italy, which will improve your language skills and give you the opportunity to immerse in Italian culture. Both Italian and Philosophy have active student societies run by and for those interested in the subject. Regular meetings include films, debate, and trips in the UK and abroad; so they are a great addition to your studies.
