Italianistik

The Master's degree in Italian Studies provides an in-depth insight into the Italian language, literature and culture of Italy and the Italophone areas of Switzerland. It includes a literary and linguistic part: the former consists of the philological and historical analysis of the literary text from Dante Alighieri to Carlo Emilio Gadda; the latter focuses on the written and oral language of communication of the past and the present. Students may choose which area they wish to study in depth. They acquire independent research experience in theory and practice and expand their applied skills of the Italian language.
