The intended graduate profile is that of an expert in Asian and Mediterranean African markets and cultures with language skills. Graduates of the First Cycle Degree/Bachelor Programme in Languages, Markets and Cultures of Asia and Mediterranean Africa therefore have good language skills and knowledge of the sociocultural contexts of societies in Asia and Mediterranean Africa. The geographical areas studied depend on the Asian or Mediterranean African languages chosen. For Mediterranean Africa the reference linguistic context is Arabic while for Asia it is Chinese and Japanese. With regard to languages, students will also study a European language chosen from those offered by the degree programme. The programme modules are spread over three years and cover three macro areas of learning: linguistic-cultural (fundamentals of linguistics, languages, culture and literature of an Asian or Mediterranean African country, and a European language), geopolitics and economics (fundamentals of business economics and management, geography and geopolitics), and the sociology and legal disciplines (study of the social, judicial and political processes of Asian and Mediterranean African countries). The knowledge and skills thus acquired enable students to effectively conduct comparative analyses of the main phenomena related to social systems and the dynamics of intercultural communication in a global context. Theoretical and analytical knowledge of the processes in place in business, the market and the economic system in international and particularly non-European contexts further enhances the professional profile of graduates of this programme, who will be able to apply this multidisciplinary knowledge in contexts related to sustainable development and globalisation. The unique multi- and interdisciplinary training provided enables graduates to interact in the countries of interest, for example in public and private organisations, companies and any other context where communicative competence and linguistic-cultural mediation skills are required. The programme is, moreover, aimed at preparing graduates to work in the fields of international relations (relations with foreign countries, collaboration with the branches of Italian companies located abroad and/or the branches of foreign companies located in Italy), collaboration with international organisations and bodies, management of national and/or international (European and non-European) projects and structures in which language skills and cultural knowledge are supplemented by an adequate geopolitical, economic and sociological understanding, communicative and linguistic guidance in economic, sociological and cultural contexts, and in publishing and media. In some areas of work in the above-mentioned sectors which require greater autonomy and responsibility, there may be a requirement for skills that can be acquired through more in-depth study in specific areas offered by the degree programme, in particular through undertaking activities aimed at preparing students for the job market (internships or seminars).


This programme is available in Italian.
