The M.A. by research in Anglo-Italian studies offers you the opportunity to conduct research in the field of Anglo-Italian cultural relations, with special reference to language and literature. This is a diverse and rich area of interest, drawing in international conferences and seminars. While it concerns the vast world of literary works involving the two cultures, from travel writing to poetry translations, you will be encouraged to come up with a unique topic of research that might bring a work or works of art of your choosing in new light under the lens of Anglo-Italian relations. We offer this postgraduate degree to those interested in language and literature, especially where the two cultures meet, and to prepare you to write high-quality research papers in this interdisciplinary field of studies.
