About the Program

This is a Bachelor's degree program in Romance Studies with a focus on Italian. It's a 2-subject Bachelor program requiring a second subject.

Students can specialize in Philology, Literary studies, Foreign language training, and Regional and cultural studies. The program includes mandatory study abroad (6 weeks, or 3 months if aiming to become a teacher and the 2nd degree course is not a modern foreign language). An internship is optional as part of the optional module.
