About BA Politics and Italian
This course combines politics and international relations with the study of Italian. This provides a valuable skill set ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace.
You will study the politics of individual countries and governments and the relationships between countries, communities and individuals.
Politics is organised around three themes:
- political theory
- comparative and national politics
- international relations.
In Italian you will study a combination of language and culture units. Today, Italy's innovative contributions to design, technology and fashion mean that it is a major, global commercial force.
You will spend your third year abroad, enabling you to refine your language skills and cultural knowledge and gain valuable work experience. For further details on year abroad opportunities, please see Global Opportunities.
Bristol has an enviable record for its research both in politics and in Italian culture. Both schools encourage strong synergy between research and teaching resulting in a vibrant learning environment.
