The degree programme in Language Mediation and Intercultural Communication for business, law and community services aims to train experts in intercultural communication, who are able to combine solid linguistic and cultural skills with specific knowledge and skills in the field of economics, law and social studies. Starting from these linguistic and cultural skills, this highly interdisciplinary degree programme aims to train experts who can manage and facilitate communication between people of different cultures and origins on the one hand, and companies and institutions on the other hand.

Year I is common to all curricula, apart from the Stranimedia curriculum, which is specifically thought for students holding a foreign qualification and is already different for the first year.

Year I provides basic mediation and linguistic skills from a multidisciplinary perspective, thanks to courses in social sciences, law and geography. It also provides solid basic computer skills for the specific needs and functions of experts in language mediation. Starting from year II, students may choose among three curricula, that differ in the courses taught according to the professional to be trained. Every curriculum has a clearly defined structure to guide the student?s academic career. Interdisciplinarity and multisciplinarity result from the wide range of courses offered. As a general rule, students are expected to actively participate in the various didactic activities, including case studies, seminars and individual/group presentations required for each course. Particularly, students are required to participate in practical language classes and professional training workshops (both mandatory).

This programme organisation is characterised by courses with specific disciplinary contents and aims to develop soft skills, communication skills, teamwork skills and ability to make judgements, so as to achieve the required objectives.
