Overview
The Italian Studies programme from Warnborough College has several related aims:
- To develop the candidates understanding of Italy’s history and how it progressed from the ‘magna Grecia’ or ‘Great Greece’, through the Roman Empire and the Renaissance.
- To introduce the important contributors to Italian culture, literature, art and language, namely Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Giambattista Vico.
- To understand the impact of critical events in Italian history, such as the Risorgimento.
- To develop the necessary reasoning and analytical skills for accomplishing this.
Graduate students of Italian Studies will deepen current understandings, and will be expected to work independently and aggressively to identify and secure an understanding of the issues that seem most meaningful, the challenge of which will have the potential to stimulate the candidate to contribute to new knowledge and ideas in the discipline.
This endeavour will be pursued through a process of exploration and discovery that will inform students’ knowledge and further improve their analytical, critical, research and writing skills. A primary goal of graduate study is to facilitate recognition in the wider significance of Italian Studies.
