Languages for Intercultural and Business Communication
The three-year degree course in Languages for Intercultural and Business Communication offers an ideal preparation for students who want to improve their language skills and apply them to intercultural communication in multiple working environments. The study plan includes an in-depth study of the Italian language and culture, of the English language and culture, and of a second foreign language and culture chosen from French, Russian, Spanish, German and Chinese: for the latter, introduced in the program of studies starting in 2017, thanks to a collaboration agreement with the Chinese university of Wenzhou, exchanges and stays in China are also planned for UNISI students studying Chinese language and culture.
Alongside the core disciplines, a rich range of related and integrative activities gives the course a unique and professionalizing interdisciplinary character. The not only theoretical but also practical cut of the activities, together with the internship and the possibility of study stays abroad, makes the course form graduates ready as much to the insertion in the world of the job as for the continuation of the studies.
Double Degree option: Wenzhou University (China)
