Overview

This is provided by two mandatory courses. Electives groups/mandatory courses complete the first year, with at least one in Italian Language and Philology (they allow the student to connect the culture studied with their own, and the international student to establish a deeper knowledge of the host country and specific cultural relationships); with at least one course in the metalinguistic area (Linguistics or Philosophy of Language), and also courses addressed to specific study plans: the language and its history, or the literature and the English and American combinations. In addition to this, a course on second language teaching allows the student to pursue a career in the teaching area.

In the second year, the student can choose among linguistic courses or modules in the historical and literary-critic area. Regarding the literature courses, the student must choose between the English area of interest or the American one. On the Linguistic side, the course offers specialistic courses focused on translation, with teachings dedicated also to sectoral and technical languages especially for audiovisual media.
