The Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures offers students the possibility to achieve high proficiency in at least two foreign languages (C1). In addition, proficiency in a third foreign language is targeted at B1 level. The programme will focus on the study of literature and linguistics in each of the two major languages. Other core subjects include: Italian literature, History and Geography. There are three areas of specialization within the programme (linguistic-didactic, artistic and literary) allowing the students to acquire specific insight in one of these branches. The Bachelor in Foreign Languages and Literatures prepares students for employment opportunities in the areas of language consultancy (e.g. for Departments of Arts and cultural institutions), translation (e.g. translators of literary texts, translators of multimedia texts) and cultural services (e.g. librarians and archivists). The programme is also targeted at future teacher trainees. Other possible work opportunities include the following: linguists, philologists, professors of literary studies/art history/history/philosophy/pedagogy/psychology, foreign language instructors, and museum employees.

- sviluppo delle competenze linguistiche in due lingue straniere secondo i requisiti del QCER in modo progressivo fino al raggiungimento del livello C1, e in una terza lingua straniera fino al raggiungimento del livello B1;
- conseguimento di una solida formazione in linguistica teorica, storica e applicata, in riferimento all’italiano e alle lingue straniere studiate;
- conseguimento di una conoscenza approfondita delle letterature relative alle lingue prescelte, con particolare riguardo alla differenziazione dei fenomeni letterari, all’interscambio culturale e alle diverse epoche letterarie, ai movimenti e agli/alle autori/autrici affrontati/e durante i corsi;
- sviluppo della capacità di riflettere sui fenomeni linguistici e di argomentare su temi inerenti alle letterature e le culture nelle lingue straniere scelte;
- conseguimento, in relazione al curriculum prescelto, di una buona conoscenza delle discipline storico-artistiche, filologico-critiche, linguistiche e glottodidattiche.
Il percorso formativo è caratterizzato da tre annualità di lingua straniera e tre annualità di letteratura straniera, per ognuna delle due lingue prescelte. A partire dal secondo anno di corso gli insegnamenti di lingua e letteratura straniera sono erogati nelle corrispondenti lingue (per la lingua inglese già dal primo anno). Il percorso comune si completa con lo studio della letteratura italiana, della linguistica di base, delle materie storico-geografiche, di una terza lingua fino al livello B1 e di fondamenti di informatica.
In relazione al curriculum prescelto, il percorso si sviluppa attorno a tre macroaree di apprendimento:
- area storico-artistica: oltre a un avvio alla comparatistica e alle filologie relative alle lingue curriculari, quest’area include lo studio degli ambiti disciplinari complementari alla letteratura, quali la storia dell’arte moderna, le arti performative (teatro, cinema, musica, spettacolo), l’estetica e la storia della filosofia nell’ambito delle culture europee ed extraeuropee e in una prospettiva interculturale e interdisciplinare;
- area filologico-letteraria: in quest’area sono raggruppati insegnamenti di carattere letterario e filologico che consentono di approfondire la conoscenza delle metodologie necessarie per operare sui testi letterari in una prospettiva storica e interculturale, nonché di padroneggiare con sicurezza gli approcci critici e le nozioni relative ai generi letterari in riferimento alle lingue straniere curriculari, nell’ambito delle culture europee ed extraeuropee;
- area linguistico-glottodidattica: gli insegnamenti offerti in quest’area permettono di conseguire conoscenze approfondite sulla variazione e sul mutamento linguistici, sui principi dell’acquisizione e dell’insegnamento delle lingue, sui fondamenti della traduttologia e sulle problematiche del processo traduttivo; l’approfondimento delle materie linguistiche è teso inoltre a sviluppare la capacità di condurre l’esame linguistico dei testi nei diversi livelli di analisi (fonologica, morfosintattica, semantico-testuale) e di collocarlo nel contesto storico e culturale di riferimento.

Governing bodies
Quality Assurance
The quality of a degree programme is the extent to which it achieves its educational objectives and meets the quality requirements of the educational activities offered, which are determined in line with the needs and expectations of students and representatives of the world of work.
- periodic consultations with representatives of the world of work to assess the adequacy of the cultural and professional profiles offered in their courses;
- design of educational contents and planning of resources;
- organisation of educational activities and teaching services;
- monitoring the effectiveness of teaching and planning measures to improve teaching and services;
- provision of complete and up-to-date information on its website, relating to the programme (professional roles, expected learning outcomes, learning activities).
In a Quality Assurance system, students play a fundamental role: each student can play their part by participating in the Quality Assurance groups of their degree programme and in the Faculty-Student Joint Committees or, more simply, by taking part in the Student Survey on teaching, or questionnaires. It’s in this context that specific workshops for student representatives (‘Laboratori di rappresentanza attiva’) are periodically made available to students by the University and the University’s Quality Assurance Board.

Other useful things
Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU/ECTS credits): Italian university courses are based on the CFU system. 1 CFU is equal to 25 hours of study. The average annual academic workload for a full-time student is generally assumed to be 60 CFU. CFU and ECTS credits serve the same purpose and generally have the same value.Degree class: Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes that have the same learning objectives and activities are grouped into “degree classes". The educational content of each programme is set autonomously by each university; however, universities are required to include certain educational activities (and the corresponding number of CFU credits) set at the national level. These requirements are established in relation to each degree class. Degrees in the same class have the same legal value.
Double/Joint degrees: the Italian universities may establish degree programmes in partnership with other Italian or foreign universities. Upon completion of these courses, graduates are awarded a joint or double/multiple degree, one from each Partner University.
