Course of study in brief

Degree programme annual factsheet (SUA-CdS)

As part of the Quality Assurance system, complete, updated and easily available information on objectives, study plan, resources used and results achieved for each degree programme is made available through the SUA-CdS - Scheda Unica Annuale del Corso di Studio (Degree programme annual factsheet). This includes an Overview and three public sections (Learning Objectives, Student Experience, Learning Outcomes) which together provide a wide range of information about each degree programme. The SUA-CdS also contains an administrative section (Administration and Quality Management) that is for internal use only.

The Degree programme annual factsheet (SUA-CdS), which is currently available only in Italian, is a valuable tool that can be used by the University to design, implement and reorganise, as well as to evaluate, each degree programme. However, the SUA-CdS factsheet is also useful for students, to help them choose the right programme of study.

Il CdS intende, innanzitutto, fornire agli studenti una solida formazione di base di carattere storico e metodologico finalizzata alla ricerca e all'esegesi nei diversi ambiti riguardanti le arti visive. Nella parte del corso obbligatoria per tutti gli iscritti, l'iter formativo prevede un numero consistente di crediti relativi ai SSD riguardanti le discipline storico-artistiche, integrati ad altri relativi alla storia e alla legislazione, questi ultimi finalizzati a favorire una competenza operativa nella gestione, tutela e valorizzazione dei Beni Culturali.

Il CdS si propone, poi, di far acquisire una formazione avanzata nel campo delle discipline storico artistiche, con attenzione ai diversi ambiti delle arti visive (pittura, scultura, architettura, arti decorative e suntuarie), ma anche della musica e dello spettacolo, dal Medioevo al periodo contemporaneo. Obiettivo primario sarà quello di fornire delle solide basi metodologiche e una piena consapevolezza delle coordinate storico-critiche, dando attenzione privilegiata alla considerazione delle opere in sé e nel loro contesto spaziale, storico e culturale. Il percorso formativo consentirà altresì di favorire un approccio interdisciplinare allo studio, con particolare attenzione alle discipline storiche e dello spettacolo.
La conoscenza diretta delle opere e l'acquisizione delle metodologie di ricerca saranno facilitate da visite ai complessi monumentali del territorio, nonché da viaggi di studio a musei e monumenti italiani e stranieri. Saranno, inoltre, eventualmente organizzati stage e tirocini presso laboratori e in luoghi di interesse artistico, anche in collaborazione con altre Università, Enti e Soprintendenze, sia in Italia, sia all'estero. Lo studente avrà la possibilità di svolgere una parte del curriculum degli studi in Università di altri paesi della UE, grazie agli scambi Erasmus.

Questa impostazione del CdS coinvolge, di fatto, due aree di apprendimento, accomunate dall'obiettivo di rafforzare le capacità di pensare, progettare e operare, tenendo costantemente presenti la circolarità del rapporto tra sapere teorico ed esperienza pratica. La prima area mira a consolidare e ampliare la formazione di base di carattere storico e metodologico, finalizzandola alla ricerca, alla comprensione e all'interpretazione dei fenomeni culturali in una logica interdisciplinare. La seconda area di apprendimento riguarda più strettamente l'ambito storico artistico e mira a offrire una formazione avanzata relativamente ai contenuti, alle metodologie e alle tecniche dei beni culturali, dal Medioevo al presente, fornendo conoscenze teoriche e applicate sui problemi della conservazione, gestione e valorizzazione del patrimonio storico-artistico e delle sue istituzioni.
Funzione in un contesto di lavoro: Tra le possibili funzioni professionali del laureato magistrale in Arte si prevede: l'attività di catalogazione dei beni storico-artistici; la partecipazione ad attività di gestione, tutela e valorizzazione dei beni storico-artistici; l'organizzazione di un variegato spettro di iniziative culturali e turistiche (mostre d'arte, itinerari turistici, ecc.); l'attività didattica nei musei; l'insegnamento della Storia dell'arte nelle scuole; attività di perizia e stima di opere d'arte. Competenze associate alla funzione: Il laureato magistrale in Arte deve saper valutare correttamente e autonomamente i beni storico-artistici in sé e nel loro contesto storico e culturale; deve saper comunicare, in modo chiaro e comprensibile, le proprie conoscenze e le proprie argomentazioni sia a interlocutori specialisti, sia a non specialisti, sapendo usare un lessico tecnico e una terminologia specifica; deve aver assimilato una capacità di analisi e di ricerca basata su linee metodologiche precise e rigorose. Sbocchi occupazionali: Tra gli sbocchi professionali della Laurea magistrale in Arte vi sono impieghi a vari livelli in primo luogo presso le istituzioni preposte alla conservazione e alla valorizzazione del patrimonio artistico e archeologico, quali le Soprintendenze, i musei; inoltre, presso la pubblica amministrazione (comuni, province, regioni) e presso fondazioni, enti, società e cooperative privati. E' possibile anche l’attività di consulenza specialistica per settori dell'industria culturale, dell'editoria, della pubblicistica e dell'educazione alla conoscenza del patrimonio storico-artistico. I laureati, in particolare, possono trovare impiego in attività in campo artistico e archeologico e in attività volte alla realizzazione di eventi culturali, quali mostre e allestimenti museali. Attraverso un tirocinio aziendale i laureati possono diventare stimatori d'asta presso aziende commerciali specializzate nell'arte oppure giungere ad essere accreditati come periti nel campo artistico dei Tribunali. I laureati possono accedere all'insegnamento nella scuola, secondo le modalità previste dalla normativa vigente. I laureati possono accedere, mediante concorso, alla categoria professionale delle guide turistiche e possono inserirsi nelle professioni legate al turismo culturale. Infine, per i laureati magistrali che intendano proseguire gli studi vi sono, oltre quelli citati, gli sbocchi occupazionali nelle Soprintendenze a livello dirigenziale, e nel settore della ricerca in ambito universitario. Il percorso formativo può proseguire nelle Scuole di Specializzazione, nei Master di secondo livello, nel Dottorato di ricerca.

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.

This programme has adopted a teaching Quality Assurance system in line with the University’s quality assurance guidelines and based on the e ANVUR national quality assurance guidelines, by carrying out the following activities:
  • 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).
The above activities are scheduled and interrelated, based on the PDCA principles (Plan, Do, Check, Act).

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.
