Master’s Degree in Humanities

The Master's Degree in Humanities is offered by the University of Bergamo. The programme includes compulsory courses, elective activities and workshops, with two differentiated curricula, historical-literary and artistic cultures, and deepens philology, linguistics, literature and the arts. It provides the credits needed for access to the teaching competition classes. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years and is taught in person in Bergamo. The language is Italian. The internship is included in the programme.

The aim is to train specialists in linguistics, philology and literature, with skills for the cultural sector, publishing, archives, libraries and foundations. Career outcomes are teaching, university research, doctoral study, cultural institutions, publishing and cultural heritage management. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
