The doctoral programme, which ranks as a third cycle programe, promotes advanced training for research on a broad spectrum of languages, literature and cultures of different geographical areas (Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia), and on correlated interlinguistic and intercultural phenomena. Besides basic methodological training, the learning objectives of the various disciplines are organised by research area and according to geographical and socio-cultural criteria. Doctoral students will first complete the learning activities of their area in detail through personalised lessons and workshops designed to encourage autonomous research in their respective sectors. Moments of common training will also be offered, centred on contacts between the various linguistic areas involved, and on the three sectors - linguistic, literary and intercultural - already specified in the title of this programme. Training also includes learning to use analytical IT tools, which are extensively exploited in the international framework. The programme will train international scholars, in the true sense of the word, fluent in several languages, skilled in understanding and discussing the scientific research of other European and non-European institutions, and able to mediate between Italian and international studies.
