INTRODUCTION TO THE FACULTY 

The Faculty of Arts and Philosophy of the University of Trento was established 

by law in August 1982 and opened in the 1984-5 academic year. In the 2001-2 

academic year, pursuant to legislation reforming the Italian university system, 

the Faculty reorganized its academic programme and now offers six three-year 

degree courses: Philosophy, Arts, (with curricula in classical or modern 

subjects), Modern Languages and Literatures, Foreign Languages for Business 

and Tourism, Cultural Heritage (with majors in archival-library science, 

archaeology, music, and art history) and Historical Studies. 

Graduates from the Faculty’s three-year degree courses are qualified to pursue 

a variety of careers (in the civil service, the services sector, journalism, 

publishing, libraries, museums, and cultural institutions in general). The 

Faculty’s academic regulations – which can be consulted on-line at the Faculty 

website – specify the occupations for which graduates from each three-year 

course are qualified. 

Since the 2002-2003 academic year, the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy has 

also offered a two-year specialist degree in Philosophy and the Languages of 

Modernity. In the 2004-2005 academic year, other four specialist degree 

courses have been introduced, such as Philosophy and the Languages of 

Modernity, Philology and Literary Criticism, Modern Euro-American Languages 

and Literatures, Management and Conservation of Cultural Heritage and History 

of the European Civilisation. 

Scheduled for the 2005-2006 academic year is the introduction of a further Two- 

Year Specialist Degree Course in Foreign Languages for Tourism, Business and 

International Communication.

ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION 

The Faculty’s academic programme is generally organized into preparatory 

modules consisting of a general introduction to a particular disciplinary area; 

specialist modules, which address specific topics; and seminars, which focus on 

individual themes, often agreed jointly by the students and the lecturer (or 

interdisciplinary seminars given by lecturers in related subjects). Some courses 

are accompanied by practical sessions on items in the syllabus of especial 

importance, or which students find particularly difficult. In some cases, the 

academic programme also comprises work placements (training and internship). 

The academic year divides into two semesters: First Semester (27 September 

2004 – 22 January 2005), Second Semester (14 February 2005 – 4 June 2005). 

Each teaching module consists of a minimum of 20 contact hours and 

corresponds to 3 ECTS credits. Each module is a free-standing unit and is 

registered as such. Students attending course modules at other Faculties must 

comply with the regulations of those Faculties as regards duration and the 

number of credits awarded. 

The courses taught by the Faculty’s mother-tongue language assistants last for 

a full year. 

There is a specific calendar for final degree examination sessions.

The purpose of the Faculty’s Multimedia Technologies Centre (C.T.M.) is to 

resolve the difficulties that inevitably arise when attempts are made to integrate 

the languages of contemporary society: natural languages in their oral and 

written forms, and the technology-based languages used for digital or 

audiovisual communication. The C.T.M. furnishes indispensable support for 

9


teaching and research in the Faculty by integrating diverse media technologies 

to furnish services that match their users’ constantly evolving needs. The 

Centre’s specialist services divide among four operational units (Audiovisual 

Materials, Photography, Information Technologies, and Language) which 

provide rapid and flexible solutions in all media sectors of interest to the Faculty. 

In the February 2003, the Multimedia Technologies Centre issued a Charter 

intended to ensure the even greater efficiency of its services.

The Library at the Faculty of Humanities and Philosophy (for staff and opening 

hours see above) is a section of the University Library, which as an autonomous 

facility within the University is supervised by a Library Committee and has its 

own statute and budget. The University Library divides between a central 

section (administration, acquisitions, cataloguing, inter-library loans) and 

subsidiary branches at the University’s various Faculties. 

The University Library belongs to a consortium – Catalogo Bibliografico Trentino 

(CBT) – which comprises almost all the municipal libraries and those of cultural, 

social and scientific institutions in the province of Trento. The consortium runs 

an on-line catalogue covering all the province’s libraries and it administers interlibrary 

loans. 

Besides the Central Library (which services the Faculties of Sociology, 

Economics and Law), of especial importance for study of the humanities at the 

University of Trento are the libraries of the Museo Provinciale d’Arte, the Museo 

13


del Risorgimento, the provincial Servizio di Tutela Archeologica, the Istituto 

Trentino di Cultura, and the municipal libraries of Trento and Rovereto. All the 

holdings at the Library of the Faculty of Humanities and Philosophy have been 

catalogued in the CBT database, although large part of pre-1984 publications in 

the province’s libraries are still card-catalogued. 

Description and services 

STRUCTURE: Located on the ground floor of the Faculty building is the 

consultation and loans service. The main room contains the circulation counter, 

the catalogues, and a station for CD-Rom consultation, while two reading rooms 

house reference works and the current year’s periodicals. Besides handling 

loans and requests for materials, the library staff are available for information 

and assistance. A separate office provides specialist assistance with on-line 

bibliographic searches. 

The basement contains the library’s stock of books and periodicals, as well as a 

room for users who require direct access to the shelves (lecturers, graduands, 

authorized users) and a CD-Rom consultation station. 

HOLDINGS: The Arts and Philosophy Library at present contains around 

110,000 books and 1,250 periodicals. Its stock constantly increases (around 

5000 new titles per year) to meet the Faculty’s research and teaching needs. 

Acquisitions are selected by faculty members and library staff, although all users 

may make suggestions, which are given due consideration. While all materials 

can be consulted on the library premises, some are not available for loan (texts 

on examination syllabuses, rare or valuable works, frequently consulted items, 

CD-Roms) 

ORDINARY LOANS: Library loan cards are issued by any library in the province 

of Trento belonging to the CBT. They entitle their holders to take out loans from 

all the libraries in the consortium in accordance with their regulations. Those of 

the University Library allow a maximum of 10 items to be borrowed by first-andsecond-year 

students and external users, and 20 items by third-year students 

and graduands. The maximum duration of a loan is 30 days, extendable to 60 

days. A fine of € 5,00 is charged for each item not returned within the loan time 

limit. The loans service terminates half an hour before the library closes. 

INTER-LIBRARY LOANS: These can be requested at the circulation desk, 

provided they concern bibliographic materials available from the CBT. In other 

14


cases, the service is provided by the Inter-Library Loans Service at the Central 

University Library in Via Verdi. Besides individual books, the service can also 

provide photocopied articles and essays. A charge of € 4,00 is made for each 

title loaned or photocopied. 

INTERNET: The University Library has its own website which can be accessed 

either from the University’s various internet sites or at http://www.biblio.unitn.it/. 

The Library web pages contains numerous links to on-line bibliographic 

resources, the catalogues of European and non-European university libraries, 

as well as the various databases to which the Library subscribes. Other 

information (on special catalogues, new acquisitions, examination texts) is 

available at: http://www.lett.unitn.it/LETTERE/Biblio.html. 

Of particular interest is the Internet per gli umanisti website, which can be 

consulted at http://lettere1.lett.unitn.it/lavori/carl.htm. The Library has two 

Internet connection stations for use by students, and further Internet access is 

available at the Presidio Informatico (Computer and Information Services 

Centre). The Library staff are always available for guided searches and 

information. 

15


EXAMINATIONS 

On conclusion of every teaching module, students may take an examination in 

accordance with the regulations for the degree course and have the result 

registered on their academic records. 

The academic regulations for each degree course specify the form taken by its 

final examinations.

WORK PLACEMENTS (TRAINING AND INTERNSHIP) 

Work placements (training and internship) are an important part of a future 

graduate’s training. They form an integral part of the study curricula of all the 

University’s faculties and consist in periods of supervised work experience in 

businesses or organizations. Divisione rapporti con le imprese (Molino Vittoria, 

via Verdi n. 6, third floor, tel. 0461883200, fax 0461882921, e-mail:

First year: 20 hours of theory and 100 hours of language training (6 credits) 

Second year: 20 hours of theory and 100 hours of language training (6 credits) 

* First-year students who have already attained the levels required to pass the 

language tests set for the two years (B1 active) may take the examination 

relative to the two theoretical modules (in the same academic year for the First 

and Second Year) and thus earn the relative 12 credits. 

Second Language (3 credits)

19


The target language levels set are: 

- B1 for the first foreign language 

- A1 for the second. 

RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE CERTIFICATES 

The Faculty Council recognizes language attainment certificates which 

correspond to the language levels established by the Council of Europe. 

If the level stated by the foreign language certificate is considered equivalent to 

that required by the Faculty, it is automatically recognized on the basis of the 

European table (European Framework). 

The student concerned may be asked to take a supplementary test to assess 

specific language skills required by the degree course that s/he has selected (for 

example, translation skills, or theoretical knowledge of syntactic-grammatical 

structures). 

Recognition of the “Patentino di bilinguismo” (certificate of bilingualism) 

of the Province of Bolzano (only for examinations in German) 

The skills attested by the Patentino di bilinguismo – translation, comprehension 

and oral production – are recognized by the Faculty 

The Patentino di bilinguismo B is recognized as equivalent to level B1 and the 

Patentino di bilinguismo A to level B2. 

The student in possession of the certificate may be asked to take a 

supplementary language test. 

Recognition of language skills acquired by Erasmus-Socrates students 

Examinations taken under the Erasmus-Socrates Programme and which certify 

a level of language knowledge corresponding to the ‘European Framework’ are 

recognized by the same procedure as used for foreign language certification. 

Foreign upper-secondary school qualifications 

Students in possession of secondary-school leaving certificates obtained in 

foreign countries may gain recognition of C1-level competence in the language 

of the country in which they have completed their upper-secondary studies (this 

20


also applies to students with diplomas from German-language secondary 

schools in Alto Adige). 

Students may be asked to take a supplementary language test (for example in 

translation from and into Italian). 

RECOGNITION PROCEDURE 

Certificates of language attainment (in true copies of the original) should be 

given to the language teacher at the moment when the examination is 

registered.

EUROPEAN COMPUTER DRIVING LICENCE 

(optional) 

The ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) is an internationally 

recognized certificate attesting that the holder possesses the skills necessary to 

use a computer efficiently. 

The ECDL was established in 1997 by the CEPIS (Council of European 

Professional Informatics Societies), a body comprising the national computer 

science associations and supported by the European Union, which has included 

it among Community projects to build an Information Society. The ECDL has 

been adopted by most EU and Scandinavian countries, and by Hungary and 

Poland. 

The ECDL is obtained by passing seven tests based on the seven modules 

making up the syllabus. The test passed are recorded on a ‘skill card’. 

The university service “Nuovi Servizi alla didattica e formazione informatica”, 

located in the DIT building, Via Briamasco 2, is an authorized ECDL test centre. 

The Faculty encourages its students to obtain the ECDL by recognizing some of 

the modules set for the computer skills test. Students intending to complete the 

modules required to obtain the ECDL may do so by purchasing the skill card at 

cost price (32 euros) and paying 13.50 euro for each of the further modules 

taken. 

Syllabus for the additional ECDS modules 

Students wishing to complete the modules for the ECDL must purchase a skill 

card at the cost price of 32 euros (entered on which are the modules passed 

with the computer skills test) and then take (at a price of 13.50 euros) the three 

remaining modules required for award of the certificate: 

BASIC CONCEPTS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 

This module tests the candidate’s understanding of basic concepts of 

Information Technology. The candidate must possess a basic knowledge of the 

structure and functions of a personal computer, be acquainted with information 

networks, and be aware of how computer-based applications impact on 

everyday life. S/he must also appreciate the health and safety issues involved in

75% is required to pass the module). 

25


DATABASES 

This module requires the candidate to understand some of the main concepts of 

databases and demonstrate an ability to use them. The module consists of two 

parts. The first tests the candidate’s ability to create a simple database using a 

standard software package. The second tests his/her ability to retrieve 

information from a database using the query and sort tools available in the 

package, and to produce the relative reports (a score of at least 75% is required 

to pass the module). 

PRESENTATIONS 

This module requires the candidate to demonstrate competence in preparing 

presentations. The candidate must be able to use standard tools to prepare 

presentations for different types of audiences and situations. S/he must be able 

to accomplish basic tasks such as composing the text, inserting images and 

charts, and adding special effects (a score of 75% is required to pass the 

module). 

The calendar of the tests on the three OPTIONAL modules is posted at the 

following web page: http://www.unitn.it/ECDL/ 

26


SPECIAL COURSES 

In the 2004-2005 academic year, the Faculty has received funding from the 

Autonomous Province of Trento to offer two 30-hrs special courses in Ladin 

Philology and in Gender Studies. 

The course in Ladin Philology will be taught by Professor Giampaolo Salvi and 

constitutes module E on the General Linguistics programme. Further information 

can be obtained from Professor Patrizia Cordin. The course in Gender Studies: 

Travelling Concepts, Translated Theories, Controversial Practices & 

Questionable Equal Opportunities will be taught by Dr. Giovanna Covi in the 

first semester and constitutes module C on the Anglo-American Language and 

Literatures programme. 

A course in Portuguese Language will be offered within the co-operation 

programme between the Institute Camöes of Lisbon and the University of 

Trento. 

A course in Catalan Language and Literature will be offered within the cooperation 

programme between the Generalitat de Catalunya and the University 

of Trento. 

Moreover, Dr. Diego E. Angelucci will teach at the Faculty of Arts and 

Philosophy thanks to the Miur Programme “Rientro dei cervelli” (Brain Drain). 

ON-LINE LEARNING PROJECT 

The on-line learning project (which is part of the University’s broader information 

technology programme) was launched in May 2001 with the creation of the 

Laboratorio d’Ateneo Innovazione Didattica. The head of the Laboratory is 

Professor Patrizia Ghislandi, a lecturer in education and learning technologies 

and Rector’s delegate for distance teaching. The aim of the project is to give 

greater flexibility and effectiveness to academic teaching by means of a web 

portal which delivers the University’s courses on-line. Its intention is to meet the 

needs of both students who attend lectures and those who, for a variety of 

reasons, do not. The portal (web address http://www.didatticaonline.unitn.it) 

divides into two main areas: teaching and permanent education. The former 

contains all the courses currently available on-line, divided by faculty. There are 

two types of course: those supporting traditional lectures, and free-standing 

27


ones. In the former case, the lecturer teaches the course in the classroom and 

uses the portal to publish lecture summaries, activate discussion forums, and 

post the bibliography or webography. In the case of free-standing courses, most 

of the teaching content and discussion is delivered on-line, although, when 

possible, classroom sessions are held to facilitate contact between lecturer and 

student.

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY 

SOCRATES/ERASMUS PROGRAMME 

The aim of the SOCRATES action for Higher Education – entitled Erasmus – is 

to enhance the quality and European scope of higher education by encouraging 

international cooperation among universities, increasing mobility, and improving 

the transparency and full academic recognition of studies and qualifications 

within the European Community. Erasmus allocates mobility grants to 

thousands of students and lecturers, as well as supporting those who do not 

participate directly in exchanges, in order to broaden the European dimension of 

studies. To this end, particular importance is attached to Intensive Programmes, 

to the development of new and/or improved curricula through transnational 

cooperation, and to the fostering of Thematic Networks throughout Europe. 

Erasmus is open to higher education institutions of all kinds and embraces all 

disciplines and levels of study, including doctorates. 

The Faculty belongs to the ECTS system and periodically updates and 

publishes the relative information booklet in Italian and English. The booklet can 

also be consulted on-line at the Faculty website. 

The Faculty Delegates for the Socrates Programme are: Professor Francesco 

Zambon (tel. 0461/881766; e-mail: francesco.zambon@lett.unitn.it) and Dr. 

Giovanna Covi (tel. 0461/881723; e-mail: Giovanna.covi@lett.unitn.it) 

For any other questions regarding administrative details please contact the 

secretary Dr. Cristina Merlo (e-mail: ucs@lett.unitn.it). 

Student reception hours: Monday, Tuesday and Friday 11.00 – 12.00; 

Wednesday and Thursday 14.30 – 15.30. 

THE DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAMME 

The Double Degree Programme offers students an opportunity to follow a 

special curriculum leading to the award of two degrees, one from the University 

of Trento and the other from a foreign University. The Double Degree 

Programme is also an opportunity for an extraordinary personal enrichment. 

29


Some of the many immediate benefits are the improvement of one’s language 

skills, the knowledge of new learning methods, of new cultures, of new people 

and of many other aspects regarding individual growth. This is a so precious 

experience not only because affect the academic career of the student, but also 

because it allows him/her to acquire professional and language skill that can be 

better appreciated in Europe and in the world. 

Since the 2001-2002 academic year is effective a Double Degree Agreement 

between the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy of the University of Trento and the 

Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaften Fakultät of the Technische Universität of 

Dresden (Saxony: http://www.tu-dresden.de), Germany. Students at the Faculty 

of Arts and Philosophy may take part in this programme only if they are enrolled 

in a Two-Year Specialist Degree and if they already have a three-year degree 

with the minimum result of 105 out of 110.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 

FOR THE THREE-YEAR 

DEGREE COURSES 

established in application of ministerial decree no. 509/1999 

DEGREE COURSE IN PHILOSOPHY 

with six study programs: 

(a) Philosophy and science of education 

(b) Philosophy and art studies 

(c) Philosophy and science of communication 

(d) Theoretical Philosophy and Religious Studies 

(e) History of Philosophy and Science 

(f) Moral Philosophy and Political Science 

The Three-Year Degree Course in Philosophy pertains to Class 29 of such 

courses and is administered by the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy. 

1. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS 

Admission to the Degree Course in Philosophy is conditional on possession of: 

a. a sound cultural background, and 

b. a knowledge of languages. 

2. OBJECTIVES 

The aim of the degree course in Philosophy is to furnish a solid grounding in the 

humanities, which may be subsequently developed by specialist, master and 

37


doctorate courses, or by schools of specialization. Graduates from the course 

will be qualified, either immediately or following a brief traineeship, for entry to 

professions which require familiarity with humanistic culture in general and the 

methods of the philosophical disciplines in particular, as well possession of the 

mental flexibility necessary to adapt rapidly to innovation. 

Although the degree course in Philosophy at the University of Trento pursues 

the educational objectives set by the MIUR, it comprises a number of features 

with a bearing on the future employment prospects of its graduates. These 

features are as follows: 

− a close relationship with the German-speaking countries and more generally 

with those of Central Europe; 

− inter-cultural comparison and analysis of communicative processes; 

− the philosophy of nature, given the geographic distinctiveness of the region of 

Trentino Alto Adige; 

− analysis of the relationship between philosophy and religious studies, given 

the region’s tradition and its cultural and institutional resources; 

− the relationship between philosophy and the social sciences, given the 

region’s recent tradition and its specific cultural and institutional resources; 

− the relationship between philosophy and modes of artistic expression, given 

the presence in the region of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Trento and 

Rovereto (MART) as well as other museums; 

− the philosophical tradition of modernity. 

Hence, given the purposes of the philosophical sciences and the distinctive form 

taken by the Trento degree course, graduates will have acquired not only 

disciplinary expertise but also an ability to work in various sectors, in particular 

the culture, communications and information industry, and in occupations 

concerning the environment, the organization of work, and intercultural and 

inter-religious relations. They will possess sound theoretical and historical 

knowledge of the philosophical disciplines. They will be able to use at least one 

of the main European languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Russian) 

at advanced level and read and comprehend scientific texts in a second foreign 

language at least intermediate level. They will possess adequate computer skills 

(at least corresponding to the European Computer Driving Licence). 

38


3. ACADEMIC PROGRAMME 

In regard to the objectives set out above, the Three-Year Degree Course in 

Philosophy offers a programme divided by disciplinary sector (with the 

corresponding credits) and distributed across the three years of the course in 

the sequence shown.

DEGREE COURSE IN ARTS 

(Classical and Modern Curricula) 

The Arts Degree Course pertains to Class 5 of such courses and is 

administered by the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy. 


Admission to the Degree Course in Arts is conditional on possession of: 



2. OBJECTIVES 

The aim of the degree course in Arts (which divides between two curricula, 

classical and modern) is to furnish students with a solid grounding in the 

humanities which they may further consolidate with specialist, master and 

doctorate courses, or by attending schools of specialization in, for instance, 

teacher training. Graduates from the course will be qualified – either 

immediately or following a brief traineeship – for entry into professions requiring 

familiarity with humanistic culture in general and the methods of the philologicalliterary 

disciplines in particular, as well as possession of the mental flexibility 

necessary to adapt rapidly to innovation. 

The programme of courses complies with the provisions of current legislation on 

university degree curricula in the arts. It endeavours to furnish robust knowledge 

of linguistic, philological and literary subjects, but it also addresses those many 

aspects – historical, geographical, and artistic – which have constituted the 

essential features of Italian culture since antiquity. It is concerned to impart 

proficiency in a modern European language, but without neglecting mastery of 

the student’s mother tongue, and also competence in the use of information 

technology. The work placements (training and internship) (in schools and other 

institutions) that form part of the course requirements initiate students into the 

world of work. 

The degree course divides between two curricula – classical and modern – the 

intention being to give greater homogeneity to programmes of study and to 

facilitate admission to specialist degree courses. 

47


Graduates from the degree course in Arts will possess good knowledge of the 

philological and literary disciplines. They will be able to use at least one of the 

main European languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Russian) to 

intermediate level, and they will be able to read and comprehend scientific texts 

in a second foreign language at least at elementary level (for specification of the 

levels for each course year see “LANGUAGE LEVELS BY DEGREE 

COURSE”). They will possess adequate computer skills (at least those 

corresponding to the European Computer Driving Licence), as well as 

knowledge of geography, art, literature and philosophy. 


In regard to the objectives set out above, the Three-Year Degree Course in Arts 

offers the following programme divided by disciplinary sector (with the 

corresponding credits) and distributed across the three course years in the 

sequence shown.

DEGREE COURSE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES 

FOR BUSINESS AND TOURISM 

The Degree Course in Foreign Languages for Business and Tourism 

pertains to Class 3 of such courses and is administered by the Faculty of 

Arts and Philosophy. 


The Degree Course in Foreign Languages for Business and Tourism requires 

possession of the following: 

a. Foundation language skills 

Comprehension: the student must be able to interpret the meaning of a written 

or spoken text correctly, to summarize the text in writing, and to answer 

questions on its content. 

b. Basic aptitudes 

Adequate competence in at least one of the following foreign languages: 

English, French, German or Spanish; a marked interest in foreign languages 

and cultures; a propensity for cultural dialogue and interpersonal relations; 

mental flexibility; and curiosity in the new forms of international professionalism. 

Admission to the Degree Course in History Studies is conditional on possession 

of an upper-secondary school certificate. 

2. OBJECTIVES 

The aim of the degree course in Foreign Languages for Business and Tourism 

is to furnish a solid grounding in studies which may subsequently be developed 

by specialist, master and doctorate courses, or by schools of specialization. 

Graduates from the course will be qualified for entry to professions which 

require familiarity with humanistic culture in general and the with foreign 

languages and cultures in particular, as well as possession of the mental 

flexibility necessary to adapt rapidly to innovation. 

Graduates from the degree course will possess: 

• a good level of knowledge in at least two foreign languages and their relative 

cultures; 

• proficient oral and written skills; 

• a thorough general preparation in economic and legal subjects; 

64


• an ability to use information management and communication tools; 

• an adequate knowledge of issues concerning specific work settings (public 

institutions, manufacturing enterprises, cultural bodies, tourist organizations, 

environmental agencies) also in regard to inter-ethnic and inter-cultural 

relations; 

• an ability to self-organize their activities to adapt rapidly to a variety of work 

settings. 

Graduates will be able to work as foreign-language copywriters in businesses 

and tourism organizations and engage in all other language support activities 

required by businesses and institutions. 

In pursuit of these objectives, the degree course programme comprises: 

• language training intended to consolidate written and oral skills in Italian and 

foreign languages and to impart the knowledge necessary for inter-linguistic 

and inter-cultural mediation; 

• skills development in the translation of texts pertaining to business and 

tourism; 

• courses in economics and law functional to the student’s future career; 

• training placements in companies, institutions, and Italian and foreign 

universities; 

• analysis of the structure of the languages studied (phonology, morphology, 

syntax, etc.) as well as contrastive analysis between those languages and 

Italian. 

The time allocated for self-study and other activities amounts to at least 50 per 

cent of the total course workload. Smaller percentages may be allocated to 

training activities with high experimental or practical content. 

Graduates from the degree course in Foreign Languages for Business and 

Tourism will possess a good knowledge of Italian language and literature, two 

foreign languages and the cultures of their respective countries, and general 

and applied linguistics. The levels reached in each of the three years and in 

each language are those specified by the Council of Europe (Common 

European Framework of Reference for Language Learning and Teaching). In 

each of the two foreign languages studied, the student will have attained level 

B1 at the end of the first year, level B2 at the end of the second year, and level 

C1 at the end of the third. Graduates from the course will therefore be able to 

use two of the main languages of the European Union (English, French, 

German, Spanish) at advanced level. They will also possess adequate computer 

skills (the European Computer Driving Licence level and above). 

65


Formal language lectures and seminars are flanked by language training 

modules. 


In regard to the objectives set out above, the degree course in Foreign 

Languages for Business and Tourism offers a programme divided by disciplinary 

sector (with the corresponding credits) and distributed across the three years of 

the course in the sequence shown.

(with four majors in archival-library science, 

archaeology, music, and art history) 

The Degree Course in Cultural Heritage pertains to Class 13 of such 

courses and is administered by the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy. 


Admission to the Degree Course in Cultural Heritage is conditional on 

possession of: 



2. OBJECTIVES 

The aim of the degree course in Cultural Heritage (with four majors: art history, 

music, archaeology, archival-library science) is to furnish a solid grounding in 

studies which may subsequently be developed by specialist, master and 

doctorate courses, or by schools of specialization in, for example, teacher 

training. Graduates from the course will be qualified, either immediately or 

following a brief traineeship, for entry to professions which require familiarity 

with humanistic culture in general and the methods of the historical, philologicalliterary 

and philosophical sciences in particular, as well as possession of the 

mental flexibility necessary to adapt rapidly to innovation. 

The three-year degree course seeks to furnish the broad but robust cultural and 

historical knowledge indispensable for an integrated approach to the 

conservation of cultural assets. It also endeavours to impart other essential 

abilities (proficiency in a foreign language, knowledge of a second foreign 

language, basic computer skills, knowledge of legislation on cultural assets). 

Four distinct study programs are offered: art history, music, archaeology, and 

archival-library science. A distinctive feature of the degree course is its particular 

emphasis on practical aspects, with a programme of work experience 

placements closely linked to the surrounding region and its institutions devoted 

to the conservation and enhancement of cultural assets. The course also 

comprises elements from the scientific disciplines. 

Graduates from the degree course in Cultural Heritage will possess good 

knowledge of art history, music, archaeology and archival-library science. They 

71


will be able to use at least one of the main European languages (English, 

French, German, Spanish, Russian) at intermediate level, and to read and 

comprehend scientific texts in a second foreign language at least elementary 

level (for specification of the levels for each course year see “LANGUAGE 

LEVELS BY DEGREE COURSES”). They will possess adequate computer skills 

(at least those corresponding to the European Computer Driving Licence), as 

well as knowledge of geography, art, literature and philosophy. 


In regard to the objectives set out above, the Cultural Heritage degree course 

offers a programme divided by disciplinary sector (with the corresponding 

credits) and distributed across the three years of the course in the sequence 

shown.

Possession of a Three-year Degree in Philosophy (class 29) from the University 

of Trento and other Italian universities grants direct admission to the specialist 

degree in Philosophy and the Languages of Modernity. Other academic 

qualifications awarded by Italian or foreign universities are evaluated by an 

admissions board. 

2) OBJECTIVES AND OCCUPATIONAL OUTCOMES 

The aim of the Specialist Degree Course in Philosophy and the Languages of 

Modernity offered by the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy is to conduct 

philosophical analysis of the communicative systems and languages (of science, 

the arts, religion, politics, the media, and education) which have developed 

since the advent of modernity, addressing them from within a broader historical 

context. 

93


Graduates from this specialist degree course will possess: 

− a thorough knowledge of the methodological and theoretical instruments of 

advanced philosophical analysis; 

− comprehensive knowledge of the history of philosophy; 

− an ability to conduct original analysis of general and specific anthropological 

issues concerning the human species; 

− an ability to interpret the interactions between humankind and the natural 

environment, with awareness of their historical evolution; 

− adequate understanding of the philosophical-hermeneutic dimension of 

relations among traditions, with particular regard to religions, with their 

cultures and languages; 

− an ability to interpret epistemological and ethical problems of communication 

in diverse life-settings; 

− an ability to conduct aesthetic analysis of the expressive forms distinctive of 

human cultures; 

− a good grounding in ethics, political philosophy, law, and the contemporary 

social sciences, with particular regard to the relationship between philosophy 

and law, medicine, biology, ecology and economics; 

− oral and written proficiency in two languages of the European Union, also 

with regard to philosophical lexis. 

Besides teaching and research, graduates from the specialist degree course will 

be qualified for highly specialized and responsible positions in the following 

areas: 

• publishing;

Philosophy offered jointly by the University of Trento with the Universities of 

Verona and Bologna, and the research doctorate programme in Political 

Philosophy and History of Political Thought offered in consortium with the 

University of Padua. 

3) ACADEMIC PROGRAMME 

The Two-Year Specialist Degree programme divides into three subject areas 

intended to impart essential knowledge in the various fields of philosophical 

thought, which link with other specialists domains within a coherent theoretical 

framework. The three subject areas are as follows: 

1. PHILOSOPHY, ETHICS AND RELIGION. A mainly theoretical approach is taken to 

development of a hermeneutic of the languages of ethics, politics and religion as 

forms of human expression. This subject area is intended for students wanting 

to acquire philosophical knowledge for the purposes of teaching and research, 

but also for those wishing to use philosophical tools to examine the issues of 

multicultural society, with its marked ethical and religious pluralism. 

2. HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY AND IDEAS. A historical-philosophical approach is 

taken to the theme of modernity, paying particular attention to the languages of 

science and nature on the one hand, and the languages of society on the other. 

The course furnishes advanced preparation for students intending to pursue 

careers in teaching or research, or in occupations concerned with study and 

protection of the environment. 

3. PHILOSOPHY AND COMMUNICATION IN EDUCATION AND ARTS. The world of 

communication is analysed from a philosophical point of view by conducting 

critical examination of its epistemological and anthropological features, as well 

as the various forms (artistic, literary, educational, etc.) assumed by 

communication. The course is designed for students intending to pursue careers 

in teaching or research, or in occupations requiring a high level of cultural 

competence. 

95


The academic programme divides into two sections: taught courses (on specific 

subjects) and other activities (essay writing, foreign language learning, 

communicative activities and group work). The student’s workload consists of 

attendance at lectures, exercise sessions, seminars or other activities required 

by the course programme, as well as hours of personal study and other nonformal 

activities. Curricula leading to the award of a Two-Year Specialist Degree 

in Philosophy and the Languages of Modernity must comprise educational 

activities of the type allocated the minimum number of credits, as shown in the 

tables below.

specialised and responsible positions in the following areas: 

• promotion, planning and organisation in the field of education;

our graduates for jobs such as translating, especially in the humanistic field, 

and as editing; 

• press agencies and multimedia communication organisations, where 

language skills and intercultural competence are required; 

• institutes of international, cultural and economical cooperation, of promotion 

and coordination of cultural activities in the public administration; 

• cultural services, organisations promoting cultural activities and institutes of 

research in Italy and abroad; 

106


• teaching: although it is no longer the only professional outlet for graduates in 

the humanities, education is still a place where our graduates’ competences 

can be adequately appreciated and satisfied. 

Moreover, possession of a degree in Modern Euro-American Languages and 

Literatures gives automatic admission to the research doctorate programme in 

Fiction and Comparative Literatures offered by the Department of Philology and 

History of the University of Trento in consortium with the Faculty of Humanities 

of the University of Macerata.
