Take a journey through contemporary Italian culture and society and explore the language of Italian literature, media, cinema, music, popular culture and food.
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.
Knowledge of Italian language and understanding the significant role on the economic and cultural stages worldwide can open doors to careers in many fields, with graduate opportunities 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.
