Department of Languages, Literatures and Foreign Cultures

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Foreign Cultures has a strong international focus. Its main objective is the promotion and strengthening of knowledge (a) of European and non-European languages and their use in business communication, local authorities, international organizations, migration processes and mediation services; (b) of European and non-European literatures and philologies from an intercultural, interdisciplinary and intermedial perspective.
In addition to meeting national and international demand in the primary fields of research and teaching, the Department is actively engaged in the local area through projects aimed at transferring and disseminating this knowledge across all fields of culture, with particular attention to schools, theaters, and continuous training activities.

The bachelor's degree programs L12 and LM38 provide education that enables professional opportunities as specialized experts and consultants in public administration, in migration contexts, within European institutions, in governmental and non-governmental organizations, in cultural tourism circuits, in the fields of human and social sciences, in the publishing sector (with reference to the production of audiovisual products) and in schools.
