Teaching

You always study Italian in combination with another language within the program of Linguistics and Literature. For more information about the possible combinations of languages and the concrete components of the curriculum, you can consult the study guide.

Our courses give the students the opportunity to learn the language from the elementary to the advanced level, while they also take courses on Italian culture, Italian linguistics, and on the history of Italian literature. After Bachelor 1 and Bachelor 2, which provide solid knowledge and skills, the Bachelor 3 and Master courses are dedicated to more complex subjects.
