Here's what University of Warwick says about its Italian and Classics course.
Our Italian and Classics (BA) degree will enable you to focus on both the Classical world and on Italian culture from the medieval period to the present. On the Italian side of your degree, modules will cover a broad range of subjects including Italian culture, society, literature, politics, film and history. Italian may be studied ab initio.
You will graduate as a highly qualified linguist, with advanced intercultural skills and a sophisticated understanding of key concepts and debates in two Arts disciplines. The specialist communication, research, critical and evaluative skills you will gain are all highly sought after by employers.
Italian and Classics will enable you to focus on both the Classical world and modern Italy. A degree in a modern language with a classical subject offers rich and versatile training that develops advanced skills in critical analysis, communication and creative thinking.
Throughout your degree, you will study Italian language at the appropriate level alongside modules in Italian culture. The Italian side of your degree will extend your understanding of the language, literature, culture, history, society and politics of Italy. On the Classics side of the degree, you can choose between Latin and Greek in your first year and you can continue these languages in your intermediate and final years too. You will have a wide choice of modules on Greek and Roman cultures, and you can explore the connections between the Classical world and the civilisations of Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East.
Your second or third year is normally spent abroad, either as a language assistant, working, or studying at one of our partner universities. This is an invaluable opportunity to immerse yourself in the linguistic and cultural contexts where Italian is spoken, enhance your language skills and build international connections.
You will have access to outstanding facilities and resources. This includes flexible collaborative and individual learning spaces, as well as a vast selection of print, digital and multimedia learning materials.
You will finish your degree as a proficient, internationally mobile linguist with a deep understanding of key issues and developments in Italy’s past and present, and an advanced knowledge of Italian and Classical cultures.

What support? Trying to access support was impossible - issues such as health conditions and bereavement took months for the most basic of support to be offered.

When I started at the Uni there were some nice facilities, however efforts to 'modernise' quieter areas have made them inaccessible

Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
