ALUMNI

What does it mean to go to University nowadays?

What might be gained from a degree in Modern Languages, and specifically, Italian?

Although we don’t profess to have the answers, we do have a trio of fantastic interviews lined up for you in our Alumni section that might. We hear from three Italian graduates from UoB – Maddie Lamb, Zaki Dogliani and James Ramsden - who reveal what they are doing now, how their degrees informed their current endeavours and, of course, their favourite Italian words (read on to find out more!)

La Civetta is very proud to be able to bring these interviews to our readers. They show a great strength within the Italian department to be able to remain in contact and share memories. An especial thanks must go to Pippa Coles for her work in interviewing James Ramsden – with a trip up to London and everything!
