Learning Italian will give you access to one of the richest European cultural traditions and to the language of opera, film and music, as well as the language of architecture, fashion and industrial design. Speaking Italian is advantageous if you are interested in international law, economics, commerce and trade. In addition, because of the large number of Italian speakers in Australia, Italian is also relevant to areas such as migrant studies and sociology. At UOW, you will study Italian language, grammar, culture and history. You can begin your study of the Italian language from scratch or from the intermediate level and become proficient in all four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Italy has a strong and global culture and you will discover historical events and socio-cultural forces that have shaped modern Italy, its people and language. What you will study: Core subjects focus on developing written and spoken language skills that can be used in real-life situations, as well as subjects on Italian history, culture and society. As well as your Italian major, you must elect a minor or a second major from the Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts.
