Course Content
The training, organized as a single pathway, is based on the Compulsory Core Teaching Units (UEFs) of the main discipline (Language, Literature, Civilization). Discovery and Complementary minor options are available in history, art history and humanities.
In terms of pedagogy and student success, tutorials (TDs) and practical work sessions (TPs) are very important in years 1 and 2 (L1 and L2). During the first two semesters, the focus is on the acquisition of written and oral language skills. In addition, contemporary civilization and literature are covered through an introduction to reading works in Italian and the study of Italian history. The modules in semesters 3, 4, 5 and 6 progressively broaden and deepen students’ knowledge about Italian language, civilization, literature and arts.
