Campuses and Degree Programmes:

Every language is a culture. [...] The real loss may lie in monoculture - whatever it may be - in the loss itself of cultural pluralism, since only pluralism is the bearer of comparison, of fruitful dialectics, of cultural creativity, of civil richness immanent in the field of linguistic formation. 

Sergio Cigada, first Dean of the Faculty of Linguistics Sciences and Foreign Literatures

The language and literature degree programmes are based on a recognised tradition of the University and guarantee the acquisition of qualified and specialised language skills in at least two languages of your choice. On the other hand, the linguistic sciences - theoretical and applied, as well as historical - represent the epistemological basis of the various educational profiles. Those who graduate in Linguistic Sciences thus have in their baggage a linguistic passepartout to get to know and explore the world. It is no coincidence that the Faculty is among the best in Italy in the humanities in relation to the job placement of its graduates.

The Faculty offers a degree programme in Linguistic Sciences (class L-12, Linguistic Mediation), active in Milan and Brescia, divided into different curricula and profiles, designed to acquire knowledge in specific professional areas. In addition, in Milan there is an interfaculty degree programme in Linguistic Sciences for International Relations (class L-12, Linguistic Mediation), with the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences. This offer, which takes into account the needs of the global reality, promotes a faster integration into the world of work, with the satisfaction of having fulfilled interests, aspirations and inclinations.

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

Father Agostino Gemelli, Founder of Università Cattolica
