Music and Italian BA (Hons)

For the Music component, in year one, core modules look at classical music repertoire and analysis, while in years two and three you can focus more on the areas that interest you most (such as history, analysis, psychology, audio-visual, performance, or composition etc).<br/><br/>The Italian component allows students to develop Italian language skills (whether from beginner or A level standard) to becoming a proficient user, as well as introducing them to a range of aspects of Italian studies from linguistics through historical, cultural and transnational study (including literature and film) to practical, digital and mediation skills such as translation and interpreting. Students taking 50% Italian also have the option of completing a dissertation which builds language and subject-related, research and cognitive skills and offers the chance to conduct original research.<br/><br/>Students taking 50% Italian with the year abroad will also enhance their understanding of aspects of life and culture in an Italian-speaking country as well as developing their proficiency in the language, their intercultural and transnational awareness and communication abilities, and their practical and interpersonal employability skills.<br/><br/>Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law.
