final-year dissertation.
Career opportunities
In recent years graduates have been employed in universities,

Italian (TSM) cannot be studied as a single honor course.
It must be combined with one other subject within the two-
subject moderatorship (TSM) programme. TSM is a joint
honor programme. Both subjects are normally studied for
three years and one subject only is studied in the fourth
year. An honors degree is awarded in both subjects.
For subjects that combine with Italian, see page 92.
Alternatively, Italian may be selected as one of the two
languages studied in the European studies programme.
Italian can be studied ab initio (from beginner level) within
both TSM and European studies.

Course overview
Having played a leading role in European civilisation since
the Middle Ages, Italy today is one of the major economies
of the world, famous for its style, design and innovation. Many
people are fascinated by Italy, its people and culture, and Trinity
College’s courses give you the opportunity to develop your
interest in a systematic way. Our courses also help you meet
the challenge of mastering a new language; you can take Italian
at Trinity College as a complete beginner. There is close contact
between students of Italian and staff; you will receive individual
attention and will be encouraged to discuss your progress at
all times.
Is this the right course for you?
Italian is an excellent subject choice if you have a natural flair
for languages, if you enjoy exploring foreign countries and their
cultures, or if you want to follow a career in the multilingual
Europe of today.
