Full-time form

Successful completion of the theoretical and practical courses in Italian and Latin taught over the previous two semesters.

The subject of this course is the study of the Italian language within the Romance language family. The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding, grounded in contemporary academic theories, of the development and evolution of the Romance languages in general and the Italian language in particular, as well as its role in today’s globalised world. Future philologists are introduced to the main features of the Romance languages, their classification, history and the spread of the Italian language in Italy and beyond.

Throughout the semester, practical sessions are held following lectures on the relevant topics. Semester assessment: the course consists of two modules. Forms of continuous assessment: responses during practical sessions; a presentation; a module test. Final assessment: takes the form of a final exam.

Students who have accumulated fewer points than the minimum required threshold of 36 points will not be permitted to sit the exam. For students who have not achieved the minimum threshold mark during the semester, a final semester test is held at the end of the semester, or essays and presentations on course topics are assessed. The maximum mark for additional forms of assessment may not exceed 40% of the maximum total marks for the semester – 24 marks. The final semester mark is composed of the marks obtained by the student during the semester and the marks obtained in the exam. The maximum weighting is allocated as follows: 60 marks (60%) – semester assessments and 40 marks (40%) – the exam.
