This combined Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program allows students to pursue a major in Linguistics, a second major in Italian, and obtain K-12 certification in ESL/ENL and Italian (grades 7-12). This 5-year program integrates undergraduate and graduate coursework, culminating in two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree, preparing graduates for teaching roles in foreign languages and English as a Second Language.

The Combined Honours programme at Newcastle University offers a unique and flexible degree structure, allowing you to study two or three subjects in depth. This extensive programme provides more opportunities than traditional single or joint honours degrees. You will attend the same lectures as students specializing in each subject, but your workload will be manageable, equivalent to any other student. This degree is designed to enhance your independence, adaptability, and confidence.
