The unique UCL-Venice Double Degree in Italian Studies and History of Art integrates two different learning experiences, teaching methods, and modes of assessment, spanning two different countries and cultures. This challenging programme, taught between London and Venice, represents a new model for the teaching of language-literature in higher education. As the first two years of this programme are taught in Italy, prior knowledge of Italian is essential.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

During the first two years as a fully enrolled University of Venice student at Ca' Foscari, you will take compulsory modules in history of art, Italian literature, linguistics and history. You will also be able to choose from a range of optional modules, allowing you to develop areas of personal interest. The majority of teaching will be in Italian.

During the last two years at UCL, you will have the opportunity to consolidate your learning by choosing from a vast range of modules available via the Italian and History of Art departments and the School of European Languages, Culture & Society (SELCS). These modules may include focuses on literature, history, linguistics, and film.

Your final dissertation will be supervised by both UCL and Ca' Foscari. You will have the benefit of resources available to students at both universities. 

You will be fully supported and supervised during your studies in Venice and London by a Director of Studies and through a tutor system. This structure is there to help you choose a coherent curriculum and enable you to get the most out of both locations.
