The Bachelor's program in Italian language, literature and civilization offered by the Institute of Italian Studies is based on a deep interweaving of knowledge between literature, linguistics, art and history. A heritage transmitted and shared for centuries all over the world, which today is offered to us not as a mere deposit of memory, but as a promising viaticum for the future. Under the guidance of a teaching staff of international training and prestige, students will achieve a solid and articulated training on the basis of a main area of specialization (the Italian language and literature) and a second field of study (the History of art, history, history of philosophy or communication sciences), then having the opportunity to continue their studies in Switzerland or continue them in Italy. The programme is fully taught in italian.
