General description. Graduates have acquired basic specialized knowledge in all linguistic subfields and have mastered the analytical craft of linguistics. They have basic knowledge of linguistic theory and methods, especially with regard to comparative linguistic research. They have mastered digital data preparation and maintenance and know the basics of qualitative and quantitative data analysis. They are familiar with the practice of scientific work, presentation, and publication, have in-depth knowledge in their elective areas, and have built up an appropriate language portfolio. Career Prospects. Like many other university programs, the study of comparative linguistics does not lead to a specific profession. One of the most important later fields of activity is research, which can look very different depending on the profile. However, interest in language(s), enjoyment of analysis, and independent work are important components in any case.Outside the university, thanks to the interdisciplinary nature of the study program, it is possible to enter many fields, but especially one of the many professions related to language, text, and communication, such as editing, PR consulting, translation, or language teaching. Depending on one's interests, the knowledge of non-European languages acquired during the program, as well as the additional qualifications gained from the minor subjects, can also serve as a basis for working in other fields such as development cooperation or computational linguistics.

In a time of uncertainty and transience such as ours, approaching literature can constitute access to a different dimension of "inner duration" that restores to us a time and space endowed with meaning and inhabitable, a necessary condition for regaining true right of citizenship in the world. This is not a solipsistic activity: from its etymological root, literature in fact refers back to a plural dimension, confronts us with anotherness that immediately becomes dialogue. The strength of literature lies in its inexhaustible experimentation with hypotheses of reality, continuous and changing possible worlds that solicit our intelligence and sensitivity. That is why literature gives us, so to speak, a solitude full of exciting encounters, leads us from the closeness of our rooms to the most crowded crossroads, proving to be, for all intents and purposes, a decisiveexperience.The Bachelor's program in Italian Language, Literature and Civilization offered by the Institute of Italian Studies is based on a deep interweaving of knowledge between literature, linguistics, art and history.
