History with Italian BA (Hons)

About the course

History

The University of Hertfordshire has an international reputation for the quality of its research in history. History is one of the largest subject areas on the Humanities Programme. This means we can offer you a very wide choice of modules, focusing on the political, social and cultural history of the period since 1500. From the outset you are taught how to analyse historical text and to engage with the wide variety of interpretations historians offer us of the past. These are the historian's central skills and the modules you undertake in your second and third years are designed to develop these further. The wide choice of modules available to you in these years allows you to concentrate on those areas that you find especially interesting; you might focus on a particular region, such as Europe, or a particular period, such as the twentieth century.

Italian

The academic study of a foreign language is concerned with the acquisition and development of competence in a language and with the analysis and understanding of another culture through the medium of the target language. The intercultural nature of the subject encourages you to reflect upon aspects of your own culture and promotes an awareness of the differences from and similarities with the United Kingdom. Your language proficiency can be particularly enhanced by a period of study abroad during your Degree programme. A major feature of language study is your active involvement in taught sessions, the development of interpersonal skills and the ability to work with others. You will also develop critical self-awareness and sensitivity to the points of view of others.
