Marco Rizzi, coordinator of the programme, describes its main features
The Faculty of Arts and Philosophy is traditionally the field in which humanities studies have converged and developed. Its roots are in the system of university studies of the Middle Ages, from which European culture was born. It is no coincidence that Father Agostino Gemelli, in addition to his studies in law, wanted, from the beginning of his university, a special attention to humanistic studies. But it was never a static presence; Over the years, the Faculty has always expressed a strong ability to keep up-to-date.
In line with its identity, the faculty today accepts the new challenges to humanistic culture; It adapts to the provisions of the recent restructuring of undergraduate programme (three-year programme) and graduate programme (two-year programme), also making use of the autonomy granted to individual universities to draw on the values cultivated with a high scientific profile. In addition to the undergraduate degrees, in the academic year 2022/2023 the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy activates, at the Brescia campus, the graduate programme in Modern Philology (LM-14).
Learning objectives
The Graduate Programme in Modern Philology aims to provide, on the one hand, an indispensable methodological and disciplinary preparation, and, on the other, to train highly versatile and advanced professionals in the fields of book and multimedia publishing, memory preservation, cultural elaboration, entertainment, event promotion, information and public communication. The targeted development of the above skills and abilities will insist, depending on the case, on the more exquisitely philological-literary side or on that of editorial production, on the historical horizon of political-social, literary and cultural events or on the multiple forms of artistic expressiveness, on the performing arts and on the media-communicational universe.
