Humanities (Classe L-10)-Enrolled from 2021/2022
The aim of the programme is to provide students with a solid grounding in linguistic, philological and literary studies, and, as far as the classical study path is concerned, also in historical, documentary and archaeological studies. The chronological span ranges from Antiquity, through the Latin middle ages and the Romance origins, to Italian literature and language of the modern and contemporary age. Such training is aimed at fostering the development of a mature critical attitude and awareness - which is the ultimate goal of studies in the Humanities. It therefore also entails a strong focus on methodological and historical aspects, with some degree of variation depending on the two curricula and their specific features.
The skills and knowledge acquired during the curricular courses as well as the experience developed through lab activities and internships are aimed at enabling graduates in Humanities to pursue professional careers in all areas which require a good knowledge of facts and cultural processes, effective writing skills, advanced specialised literary and linguistic notions, critical use of information. The envisaged career opportunities include areas such as traditional and digital publishing, journalism and text production, the promotion and organisation of cultural activities, the management of the literary and cultural heritage, human resources.
Upon completing their course of study, graduate students will have acquired the required preparation for admission to master degrees and first level master programmes. The curriculum also enables students to obtain ECTS in disciplines which are a prerequisite for a future career as secondary school teachers.

The Department supports students' international mobility, through:
- Erasmus+ 'call for study': thanks to agreements signed by the Department with some UE Universities (Croatia, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Poland, Czech republic, Spain, Hungary, to which Swiss confederation and United Kingdom must be added), students can apply for about 40 fellowships. Funding allows students for study-abroad experiences (courses and exams) that will be recognized by Unimi, if they comply with the 'learning agreement' that must be signed before departure and approved by the Department's Erasmus committee.
- Erasmus+ 'Traineeship': funding allows students to do traineeships based at UE academic or research institutions (Swiss confederation included). Applicants to the Summer call should identify a host institution autonomously, whereas the Fall call offers traineeships based on the agreements signed by Unimi, among which some are offered by the Department.
