This major focuses on the culture, art, music, architecture and literature of Italy.
You'll study language courses from beginner to advanced levels, as well as courses (delivered mostly in Italian) that explore Italian literature, society, history, politics, cinema, popular culture and food culture.
You may choose to undertake a work-integrated learning experience in Italy – further enhancing your employability in many careers.
Graduate opportunities include careers in education, translation/interpreting, hospitality and tourism, international politics and diplomacy.
Italian is available cross-institutionally at Griffith University. Details of courses are available on the Griffith University website. To study an Italian course, visit the Brisbane Universities Languages Alliance to submit your application.

- Italian language adviser

Studying Spanish and Italian has created opportunities that I would never have dreamed of. My role involves managing exchange and scholarships programs, facilitating international visits and developing new international mobility opportunities.
