The Bachelor's degree programme in Liberal Studies in Communication is designed to equip students with the theoretical, technical and practical competencies needed to work in the world of information and communication. In particular, the programme provides students with a solid knowledge of multimedia (radio, television, cinema, newspapers, Internet, etc.), with a focus on historical and cultural traditions, aesthetic and philosophical reflection, language and entertainment. The study plan comprises core courses encompassing the areas of semiotics, linguistics, literary studies and information technology (e.g. courses on glottology and linguistics, contemporary Italian literature, foreign languages and computer science). These are complemented with courses which are peculiar to the degree programme and focus on the methods, analysis and techniques of communication (aesthetics, philosophy and theory of language, history of contemporary art, musicology and history of music, performing arts, cinema, photography and television) as well as on human, economic and social sciences (demology, ethnology and anthropology, social psychology, sociology of culture and communication). Some of these courses are compulsory, whereas others are to be chosen among a set of options. An additional focus is placed on important branches of law, history, politics and philosophy, such as contemporary history, history of political thought, history of political institutions, constitutional law, media law. The study plan also includes supplementary and elective courses, for example on musical dramaturgy, foreign literatures, history of political communication, history of printing and publishing, economic history, all of them contributing to enriching the contents of the programme.

Admission Requirements
QUALIFICATIONS AND KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION
Admission to the Bachelor's degree programme in Liberal Studies in Communication is capped at 250 students.
This limitation is due to the fact that courses and workshops require properly-equipped classrooms.
In order to be admitted to the programme and successfully participate in its educational activities, students must hold a high school diploma or an equivalent foreign qualification and demonstrate a good command of Italian, good general knowledge and logical skills.
Applicants' knowledge and skills will be assessed through an admission test.
Students who achieve lower scores than the ones mentioned in the section "ADDITIONAL LEARNING REQUIREMENTS (OFA) AND REMEDIAL ACTIVITIES" will be required to fill their learning gaps by the end of the first programme year. To this end, they will be assigned additional learning requirements (also known as OFA, from the Italian Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi).
ADMISSION ASSESSMENT
Applicants have to sit for an admission test known as TOLC-SU, which is administered by CISIA (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems). Applicants can sit for the TOLC-SU at the University of Milan or any other university that offers this type of test.
There will be two admission sessions: 100 applicants will be admitted during the first session and 150 applicants during the second session. Instructions on how and when to take the TOLC-SU are provided in the call for applications, which is published on the University website and accessible via the following link:
