Why choose this programme
this programme represents a natural progression for students who have completed a bachelor’s degree in the same discipline, enabling you to deepen your humanistic education from a holistic perspective
Overview
The degree programme in Language and Civilisation of Asia and Mediterranean Africa offers you a pathway to explore the languages and cultures of some of the world’s most fascinating and complex regions.
You will develop a strong linguistic proficiency in a language of Asia or Mediterranean Africa, complemented by an in-depth understanding of its cultural context across literary, philological, artistic, philosophical, archaeological, religious, historical, and political dimensions.
The programme is organised into four curricula:
- China (language of study: Chinese)
- Korea (language of study: Korean)
- Japan (language of study: Japanese)
- The Near and Middle East (you can choose to study: Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, or Turkish)
In the China, Korea, and Japan curricula, you can choose to focus on either the classical or modern aspects of these civilisations, while the Near and Middle East curriculum is designed around a strong interest in contemporary issues in the region, explored with due attention to their historical roots.
Courses are delivered in Italian, English, or the language of specialisation, depending on the subject. All core courses in the Korea curriculum are delivered in English.
