Arts and Philosophy
The words of the future: Humanism, Memory, Beauty
Campuses and Degree Programmes:
Our faculty is the result of the decantation of a very long tradition
Sectors such as publishing and the promotion of cultural heritage demonstrate, for example, how humanities and new frontiers of technology and communication are no longer distant and parallel worlds.
To prepare persons who are also able to handle challenges of such magnitude, there is a need for broad and solid training, a broad culture and a historical perspective. Specific skills can be developed in more professional profiles such as masters, by nurturing curiosity and interests during the course of study or internships or by learning them directly in the field once they enter the world of work.
The Faculty of Arts and Philosophy of Università Cattolica translates this concern into two certainties:
- With the great rigor that comes from a long history of humanistic studies and from great schools of thought: from archaeology to glottology, philology, philosophy to history and literature history, to name just a few. This tradition of studies is expressed above all in the degree programme in Literature, with profiles in: Classical literature, Philological-literary studies, Historical, artistic and archaeological studies, Publishing, communication and entertainment;
- with a series of profiles that already seek to combine cultural knowledge and skills aimed at new professions, such as the degree programme in Arts, Media and Performance Studies (DAMS), which includes three profiles (DAMS for arts, DAMS for media and DAMS for the performing arts) and the degree programme in Tourism Management, Sustainability and Enhancing the Land.
I believe that the contemporary university, while it has the duty to collaborate for the advancement of the sciences and to follow the methodology required by each of them, must never put in second place what requires the recognition of its primacy, that is, man, the human person, the world of spirituality
