The Master's Degree in Modern Languages for International Communication and Cooperation, class LM-38, is offered by the University of Bergamo. The curriculum combines advanced language skills in two foreign languages with methodological, cultural, legal and economic foundations. The main areas are Digital Humanities, textual analysis and intercultural mediation strategies, with compulsory and optional courses, workshops and internships. 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, is worth 120 credits and is taught in person in Bergamo. The language is Italian, with courses in the foreign languages. Internships and practical workshops are an integral part of the programme.

The aim is to train professionals able to work independently in international cooperation, diplomacy, language services and international relations, with intercultural communication skills. Nine related professions are listed, including international policy analyst, intercultural mediator, translator and interpreter, language trainer and applied linguist. 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.
