The aim of the degree program is to train experts with theoretical and practical skills in the field of Italian language and literature, or, more generally, in the field of humanities, who, owing to these skills, can creatively practise their profession at theoretical, practical, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary levels. The graduate students will have enough theoretical knowledge to be able to continue their studies at a PhD specialization.
This program is recommended to applicants who hold a BA degree or an equivalent degree in Italian studies or a related program in Humanities with a knowledge of Italian at C1 level.
Our graduates finish the program with a high level of Italian. Many of them work as language teachers in language schools, as editors or literary translators, others find positions in the tourism industry, media and marketing, in governmental institutions or ministries, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Foreign Trade, and in international companies.
I laureati saranno in grado: di usare la lingua italiana in orale e in scritto a un livello corrispondente al livello C2 delle norme europee; di utilizzare gli strumenti generali di studio e le tecniche fondamentali di ricerca correnti nello studio della linguistica o della storia letteraria italiana; di effettuare ricerche in questi campi.
The graduate students will be able to use Italian in speech and in writing in a way which corresponds to C2 level of the European framework; use the general study instruments and basic research techniques in connection with Italian linguistics and history of literature and conduct independent research in these fields. Note that the program does not offer teaching qualifications.
