History and Italian
University of OxfordCourse Overview
The BA (Hons) History and Italian at University of Oxford is a undergraduate programme designed for students passionate about bridging cultural boundaries. Based in Oxford, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 4-year full-time structure. In recent years History has experienced a ‘linguistic turn’ while literary studies have undergone a ‘historical turn’, making this combination of subjects more exciting than ever. Knowledge of the past contextualises literary artefacts, while the forensic literary skills of the linguist are vital for interrogating historical documents. While historians have to be aware of genre, plot and rhetorical techniques in the creation both of their sources and their own arguments, linguists need to appreciate the social and political concerns that are woven into literary works. International tuition fees are £43,600 per year, home/UK fees are £10,050 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 7.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 97% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £32,000 within three years, a 98% continuation rate, and 74% of graduates in employment or further study.
