Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Italian Studies

Introduction

There is probably no other country which has had two periods of greatness — Rome and the Renaissance — when it exerted an enormous international influence.

Italy has given us, among other things, opera (Peri and Caccini), the sonnet (Iacopo da Lentini), double-entry book-keeping and the first printed textbook on modern accounting (Luca Pacioli), the first bank (Monte dei Paschi di Siena), the oldest European College (Bologna), the first medical school (Salerno), the barometer (E. Torricelli), the experimental method (Galileo), the first treatise on human anatomy (Mondino dei Liuzzi), the foundations of modern historiography and aesthetics (G. B. Vico), the piano (Bartolomeo Cristofori) and the violin (Gasparo da Salò), the discovery of America (Columbus), wireless telegraphy (Marconi), the telephone (Antonio Meucci) and the typewriter (G. Ravizza), as well as more than seventy percent of the world’s art treasures.

Individuals with a deep understanding of Italy will find the Warnborough PhD in Italian Studies useful as it provides the tools and skills to translate this knowledge for use in a professional context. The broad knowledge that this program gives appeals to employers in areas such as teaching, reasearch, journalism and publications, course development and curricula design, civil service, local government, charities, information technology, solicitor’s firms and publishing.
