Petition against the Closure of the Italian Department at UWB.
Sign Now
Italian has the second highest staff/student ratio in the Department of Modern Languages.
The number of applications for Italian has remained stable during the past few years and has significantly gone up for the academic year 2005-06.
The number of applications for Italian counts for 21.2\% of the total applications in Modern Languages, which means nearly a quarter.
If we look at the Three Language programmes, applications for combinations including Italian count for 69\% of the total number of applications.
We the undersigned recognise that the University of Wales, Bangor, is suffering some financial difficulty but believe that the closure of the Italian Department would be detrimental to the University and to its students. It is our belief that the University should look for other ways in which to save money so that the future of this Department can be ensured.

This department gives student the opportunity to be individually considered and cared for. Do not be a number - be an italianist!

University of Birmingham. Italian is strategically important to the critical mass of languages in universities, to the future development of European studies, and to regional provision; although it looks an 'easy target', management should think ten times

This dept. provides a valuable contribution to the Italian Studies community and to the quality of language teaching nationally. Its closure would be a grave loss to both.
