Honours in Italian Studies

The School Honours website also contains important information about Honours.

Coordinator: Raffaele Lampugnani

Students are admitted to honours at fourth-year level if they have achieved average grades of 70% to the value of twenty-four points, or better, in units taken at second- and third-year levels, of which eighteen points must be at third-year level. Students may choose an appropriate level of specialisation in Italian from a range of units that may vary from year to year. Combined honours may be taken in Italian and another discipline provided that all honours requirements have been met in both disciplines and unit to the approval of the heads of both departments/centres. Students who wish to apply for mid-year entry should consult the head of the department.

Departments may grant an extension of time for submission of the honours thesis or for final coursework up to the last day of the examination period of the semester in which the work is due. Applications for extensions beyond this date must be made to the Committee for Undergraduate Studies.
