This degree (for applicants with an A level in Italian) grants you a wealth of valued, practical skills, including linguistic proficiency in spoken and written Italian and the knowledge required to manage modern business organisations. You will learn about the social contexts and grammatical structure of Italian while investigating the culture and thought of a country that has profoundly influenced European life. You will also develop specialist knowledge in the fields of human behaviour, marketing, finance, personnel and advertising. The University of Leeds offers the widest choice of Joint Honours combinations in the UK - over 250 programmes. So if you have enjoyed two subjects equally at school/college or would like to combine your favourite subject with a new area of study, then joint honours at Leeds may be for you. Joint honours students study the same core topics as their single honours friends, but are required to choose fewer options and electives. This is to allow space in their timetable for both 'halves' of their degree. The intellectual range of such a degree, together with the organisational skill in combining two subject areas makes you very attractive to employers. Our courses allow you to study your chosen subjects in depth, and to graduate with an honours degree covering two disciplines.
