The International Modern Languages programme is aimed at students who seek to communicate in at least two languages spoken in Europe and beyond at the highest levels of fluency across a broad range of social and professional contexts, and who want to develop a sophisticated degree of intercultural competence. Critically aware and open to alternative ways of thinking, successful graduates are equipped to live and work effectively in multi-cultural and multi-lingual environments.
Detailed attention to language in its broadest sense is the basis of intellectual growth and active citizenship: our students therefore train their analytical and critical skills and build their understanding of the literary, artistic, historical and cultural frameworks in which their chosen languages are embedded. . We also seek to foster understanding of, and respect for, cultural diversity.
Engaging with other languages and cultures is a lifelong process, and a central aim of the programme is therefore the fostering of autonomous learning strategies, independent thought and intellectual curiosity. A small group teaching and learning environment, where the emphasis is on collaboration and discussion, nurtures critical thinking, interpersonal skills and fluency of expression in both English and the chosen languages. The programme goals are supported by assessment strategies that emphasize continuous engagement, reflective learning and focused research.
In Italian at Stage 2, students must complete all Italian core modules and a minimum of 3 option chosen between option blocks A and B. Students must pass both Level 2 language modules before registering for Level 3 language modules.
