The course of study in Modern Languages and Cultures aims to provide the student with written and oral skills in two foreign languages, a good knowledge of relative cultures and an adequate basic training in theoretical linguistics and Italian language and literature, as well as mastery of the main computer tools and telematic communication in the areas of specific competence.
