The international (M.D. 6/2019, Annex A, Table K) Master’s Degree Course in LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES FOR EUROPEAN PLURILINGUALISM aims to promote competences and qualifications in the areas of European Literatures and Cultures as well as Modern Languages in a multicultural context.
The profile of our graduate is that of a plurilingual European citizen, who is part of today’s European and global multilingual society and shares its language, literary and cultural traditions.
In this environment, the specific Course objectives are
- the possibility of consolidating the mastery of at least two European languages and knowledge of their respective literatures and cultures according to a transnational perspective
- a specialisation path aimed at achieving an advanced level of competence in at least one European ‘adoptive’ language and literature, which is closely related to students’ ability to process and produce language through texts, including specialised texts.
The course is organized into five curricula:
- LITERARY-HISTORICAL
- BINATIONAL LITERARY-HISTORICAL “LITERATUR UND KULTUR IN EUROPA”
- LINGUISTIC
- BINATIONAL LINGUISTIC “FLE (français langue étrangère) TEACHING”
- LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES FOR TEACHERS

Customizing the study plan
Additional study plan information
Customizing the study plan
Within every curriculum, disciplines are grouped into three functional areas (with diversified possibilities for personalization), in order to increase the organic nature of the course:
- CORE DISCIPLINES (includes selected Linguistics, Culture and Literature)
- SUPPORTING DISCIPLINES (with a strong methodological emphasis), selected according to their value (historical, literary, linguistic or professional) for the teaching profession pathway
- EXPERIMENTAL DISCIPLINES, designed to provide specific knowledge linked to plurilingualism or frame several disciplines in this perspective.
For reasons of coherence, the Supporting disciplines are placed mainly in the first year and the Experimental disciplines in the second year. Core disciplines are included in both years.
The Binational Curricula, entitled “Literatur und Kultur in Europa” and “FLE teaching”, are established in agreement with the University of Osnabrück (Germany) and the University of Bordeaux-Montaigne (France) respectively, where part of the studies takes place.
All curricula (on the basis of the individual choices of each student) can provide the requirements to access to teaching, in terms of CFU in two foreign languages and literatures, in the area of general linguistics and language teaching, as well as in psycho-pedagogy (so-called “24 CFU”).
As an international course based on plurilingual skills, the course in LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES FOR EUROPEAN PLURILINGUALISM gives students the possibility to carry out their entire course of study in English or, for the other foreign languages and literatures, in the relevant languages and in English.
