Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics with Italian with Intercalated Year (Year Abroad / Work Placements) University of Warwick, UK

Applied Linguistics at Warwick offers a unique approach to the study of language: we apply linguistic knowledge and theory to solve real-world problems. On our Linguistics with Italian degree you will build an interdisciplinary foundation from leading research in language and communication. Then you will apply your learning to explore, challenge, understand, and address problems and find meaningful solutions.

By studying linguistics together with Italian, you will explore the fascinating human capacity for language, while also building your fluency in Italian. As a linguist, you will learn about the structure and function of language, and about relationships between language and society.

You will also study and practice written and oral communication in Italian, and learn broadly about communicating across languages and cultures. Your skills in linguistic analysis will support your language learning, and your knowledge of Italian will complement your work as a linguist. This course opens many career opportunities that require the knowledge and skills of both a modern language and a deep understanding of language, culture and communication.

(75% linguistics, 25% Italian).

Study abroad
If you wish to study abroad, this will take place in your third year, meaning that you will complete your degree in four years instead of three. You will be able to design a study-abroad experience at one of Warwick’s partner universities to complement your academic and professional development. Eligibility for study abroad is contingent upon meeting departmental academic requirements.

The Student Mobility TeamLink opens in a new window offers support for these activities, and the Department's dedicated Study Abroad Co-ordinator can provide more specific information and assistance. Students who elect not to complete the year abroad, or who do not academically qualify for it, will complete the course as a three-year programme.
