italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Dear colleagues and friends, I would like to draw your interest to the New MLitt Programme in Italian Studies - University of St Andrews, Scotland. I would be very grateful if you could circulate this information amongst students and colleagues. Many kind regards Rossella MLitt in ITALIAN STUDIES Director: Dr Rossella Riccobono Entrance Requirements: A good degree with Honours from a UK University or its equivalent. Linguistic proficiency in spoken and written English and Italian. Programme duration: One year (taught) Aim of Programme: This degree offers students the opportunity to further their studies in Italian Literature and Culture through textual study, critical reflection and analysis in order to enter the field of postgraduate studies and research, or to refine their interest in Italian and transfer the learned skills across to a non-academic career. Students are encouraged to develop a specific literary or cultural pathway of research in relation to their growing understanding of the subject area. In-depth training in library research and editorial and archival work will be ensured by a supervised study visit to a prestigious Italian National Library, normally The Marciana Library in Venice during the month of June. Programme Content: It consists of one core research skills module on the theory and practice of literary research, complemented by optional modules in the following periods and areas: Italian Linguistics, Mediaeval Poetry (including Dante), Italian Renaissance (including Theatre), eighteenth and nineteenth-century Literature, Modernist and Postmodern Literature, Italian Cinema. ‘Special Subject’ and ‘Directed Reading’ modules are also available. The MLitt normally concludes with a dissertation of 15,000 words on an agreed topic. For further information contact Dr R. Riccobono ([log in to unmask]).
