MA (Italian)

The MA in Italian Studies is an interdisciplinary programme offering a range of courses in Italian literature, history and literary theory. It may be taken as a self-contained programme of study or as a preparation for a research degree. It can also function as a conversion degree, enabling students to move into the field of Italian studies from a cognate subject or discipline.

The master's program provides advanced studies for teachers. Graduates can also utilize their knowledge of the Italian language in a wide array of fields. Job opportunities can be found in international non-profit organizations, public international organizations such as the World Bank, United Nations, U.S. agencies with international missions, overseas companies and multinationals, museums and bi-cultural organizations and international experiential education. You could also find work in interpreting or translation services, in travel companies or with tour operators. You could choose to continue in a doctoral program to teach on the university level.
