Italian and Philosophy (MA Hons)

at University of Edinburgh

One of Europe's most creative and diverse civilisations, Italy has a fascinating and influential history. Studying Italian and Philosophy, which has been at the core of Western intellectual life for 2,500 years, helps us understand the contemporary world, as well as shedding light on the past.

No previous knowledge of Italian is needed. Intensive language tuition, including a year spent studying or working in Italy, will develop your ability to read, write and speak the language to a high standard with advanced translation skills.

Philosophy:
 

• introduces you to the thinking of some of the great philosophers of the past and present
• illuminates the connections between diverse areas of human experience
• makes you more aware of the assumptions that form the basis of your beliefs
