Course overview

The Master's Degree Course in Languages, Economies and Institutions of Asia and Mediterranean Africa (LEISAAM) offers four curricula: two for the Chinese language (Language and Management to China - LAMAC; Language, society and institutions of contemporary China - LISIC ), one for the Japanese language (Language, economy and institutions of Japan - LEIG) and one for the Arabic language (Language, politics and economy of the Arab countries - LIPEA).
Three Departments contribute to the teaching of the course of study, each with its own scientific and contextual specificity: the Department of Economics, the Department of Management, the Department of Studies on Asia and Mediterranean Africa.
In the Italian scenario, the LEISAAM master's degree program is unique in its kind and is in many ways highly innovative: aimed at close contemporaneity, it combines socio-linguistic and historical-cultural knowledge with economic-juridical and/or political-economic knowledge, not of a theoretical and general nature but strictly related to the realities of today's study areas.
The educational objectives are guaranteed by carefully selected area specialists and Visiting Professors from abroad. In particular, the Language and Management to China (LAMAC) curriculum is unique in Italy, combining a strong linguistic knowledge of Chinese with marketing and management skills specifically aimed at contemporary China.
