Italian Studies Program
Postgraduate Studies
The Italian Studies Program has a well-earned reputation for the quality and breadth of its teaching, research output and postgraduate supervision. Besides the more traditional areas of Italian literature and culture, staff regularly publish in the areas of translation studies, comparative literature and Italo-Australian studies.
The Italian Australian Institute adjacent to La Trobe University, will be of benefit to postgraduate students conducting research in this latter area.
Principal areas of specialisation:
- Medieval and Renaissance literature
- Italian literature from the Enlightenment to the present day
- The Italian novella
- Italian theatre
- Comparative Literature
- Translation studies
- Italian migration
- Italo-Australian writing
The Program is actively committed to promoting an environment of scholarly achievement and supports students with supervision only by those with expertise in the field; a weekly postgraduate work-in-progress seminar; research completion and publication incentives; an environment of staff-student collegiality through seminars, shared work spaces and common facilities.
See the University Handbook for Postgraduate courses and requirements.
Our Program includes scholars with expertise in a wide range of areas from 19th Century and medieval Italy to Sixteenth Century Comic Theatre and the Novella, including Shakespeare's Italian and French sources.
The Spanish Program allows postgraduate students to become part of a unique research community with seminars, conference and publication opportunities.
Postgraduate levels of study available at La Trobe University.
