Why Theories and techniques of interlingual mediation?
To learn and refine not only linguistic and cultural skills but also the technical skills and specific skills of interlingual mediation in the ways required by the current market and with a contrastive approach between the various languages learned and Italian.
Because it is a course that also provides basic knowledge in the disciplines of geography, economics and law, areas useful for carrying out mediation activities.
Because a semester abroad in the 3rd year, a highly formative experience, is included in the curriculum, and because you will be able to participate in seminars, internships, workshops and other activities that train for work.
Because intra- and interlingual skills foster success not only as language mediators but also in employment in the public sector, in national and international companies, and in entrepreneurial ventures.
Because the different courses in the curriculum will enable you to make a more informed choice if you want to continue your studies with a master's degree.
