Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The three-year Bachelor's degree course in Languages, Culture and Digital Communication is a newly designed program developed in collaboration with the business world. It addresses the impact of the digital revolution on knowledge production and dissemination. The program integrates traditional humanistic disciplines (literature, foreign languages) with digital tools for knowledge transmission and communication. It prepares students in both humanistic-linguistic and computer-digital aspects. The curriculum includes humanistic studies, foreign language study, and computer/digital project workshops. The program aims to produce professionals who can combine cultural content, linguistic skills, and digital content. Graduates will be equipped with excellent competence in two foreign languages, solid cultural knowledge, and a strong foundation in computer science, essential for digital communication skills. The program prepares students for professional roles in a multilingual, globalized, technology-dependent world and provides a foundation for further study in Digital Humanities or Digital Communication.
Outline:
The program is structured around three subject areas: humanistic, linguistic-communicative, and IT-digital.
- Humanistic: Includes literature (foreign, Italian, comparative), philosophy, and contemporary history, providing tools for understanding the present world.
- Linguistic-Communicative: Focuses on mastering foreign languages (English is compulsory, with a choice of French, Spanish, or German) and Italian writing skills. This involves studying linguistics, psychology, and sociology.
- IT-Digital: Provides knowledge of the digital world through computer and digital design labs, enabling students to carry out digital projects. The synergy between these three areas is key to the program's design. Specific course modules are not explicitly listed, but the description implies courses in various literatures, linguistics, philology, psychology, sociology, and Italian writing workshops, along with computer and digital design labs.

This includes roles in industry, commerce, and production, where digital culture is central to transformation processes.
