The Master's degree programme in Languages and Cultures for International Communication and Cooperation aims to produce graduates specialised in modern languages for international communication, mediation and cooperation. The programme provides students with knowledge and skills to enable them to find a job in a multilingual and multicultural job market, and to understand a society where the challenges of inclusion are becoming increasingly complex, triggering the need to embrace diversity in the broad sense of the world. Students increase their familiarity with cultural and linguistic diversities, which they study through the lens of time and space. Moreover, the coursework prepares them for the challenges posed by generative artificial intelligence, including in the field of multilingual communication and cultural mediation. Lastly, students develop critical thinking skills enabling them to analyse and solve problems related to linguistic and cultural mediation.
Learning objectives are part of an integrated educational plan and include: proficiency in at least two foreign languages, paired with the ability to use them in specialised contexts; knowledge of at least one culture relating to one of these languages; good command of linguistic analysis tools to be used in international mediation and communication; knowledge of the different contexts where the languages of study are spoken and the related cultures are present; competencies in law and economics, to the extent needed to better understand these contexts; IT skills addressed to a critical and conscious use of generative AI for work purposes, for example in translation, communication and text-editing. This core of knowledge and skills is complemented with competencies in history, geography, anthropology and sociology. Elective courses makes the student's learning pathway truly diversified, whereas the remaining compulsory activities, i.e. workshops and the internship, strengthen hard and soft skills that are consistent with the programme's learning objectives.
The programme is divided into three different curricula, as described below.
A) The curriculum "Languages, Contexts, and Cultures for Diversity and Inclusion" provides students with up-to-date tools to understand, analyse and implement communication practices in support of the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), which are becoming increasingly important across various organisational and institutional sectors. Students who choose this curriculum will develop an interdisciplinary knowledge of communication mechanisms in international cooperation. Moreover, they will strengthen their expertise in linguistics, enabling them to understand and produce complex texts on the basis of the above communication practices and principles. Lastly, they will gain an extensive knowledge of the cultures inherent to their languages of study.
B) The curriculum "Languages and Communication for Institutions, Organizations, and Businesses" provides students with management skills and knowledge, as well as with updated tools to understand, analyse and handle multicultural communication, with a view to a career in internationally-oriented institutions, organisations and companies. Students who choose this curriculum will develop linguistic and cultural skills in a broader sense, with a stronger focus on social sciences. The study of two foreign languages and a related culture is complemented with a cross-cutting range of courses designed to strengthen students' knowledge of the legal and economic contexts of intercultural communication.
C) The curriculum "Italian as a Second Language for International Communication" is addressed to non-Italian mother-tongue students who hold a foreign degree and wish to work in the field of multilingual and multicultural communication, either in Italy or for Italian institutions, organisations and companies operating abroad. Students who choose this curriculum will strengthen their proficiency in Italian as a second language (L2) and in another European or extra-European language. Moreover, they will further their knowledge of the Italian culture and its applications in the fields of international communication, mediation and cooperation. They will also gain an understanding of law and economics to the extent needed to better understand the contexts of intercultural communication and mediation.
