What will I learn?

The MLitt is an alternative to the PhD if you already have a masters degree and want to complete a substantial research project. You can complete an MLitt in most subjects offered by the Faculty of Arts, subject to approval and availability of supervision. You can further your research interests in the same subject as your first masters degree, or undertake research in a new area. An MLitt could be useful for a range of academic or professional careers, especially if you dont want to undertake doctoral study. We offer a complete range of postgraduate programmes in Italian. You can study with internationally renowned staff who specialise in key areas of Italian cultural studies.
