Department of Languages, Literatures and Foreign Cultures

The Department of Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures is characterized by a strong international vocation.

Its main purpose is to promote and strengthen knowledge of (a) European and non-European languages and their use in business communication, local authorities, international organizations, migration processes and mediation services; (b) European and non-European literatures and philologies from an intercultural, interdisciplinary and intermedial perspective.

Besides meeting national and international demands in its primary fields of research and teaching, the Department is actively engaged in the local community through projects aimed at transferring and disseminating this knowledge across all areas of culture with particular attention to schools, theatres and lifelong learning activities.

The degree courses (L-11 and LM-37) enable the acquisition of knowledge and skills aimed at highly professional training in the cultural sector. Graduates may work as specialized translators capable of producing cultural and multimedia content, advertising copywriters, linguists and philologists, text editors, dialogue writers and lyricists, as well as teachers of foreign languages and cultures of Italian as a foreign language.
