In this one-year programme, you will gain insight into the dialectal and regional variations and uses of Italian through courses on both theoretical and applied linguistics, covering topics that include the use of Italian and of Italian dialects. In addition, you will improve your command of the language, as the specialisation is Italian-spoken.
