Master’s Degree in Modern Philology

The Master's Degree in Modern Philology is offered by the University of Catania, Department of Humanities. The programme offers two distinct curricula, Philological and Comparative, with philological, linguistic, historical-literary and artistic skills. The possibility of Erasmus experiences is provided. 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 has a two-year structure, full-time and in person in Catania.

The aim is to train secondary school teachers and cultural professionals, with advanced skills in the philological and linguistic fields for publishing, libraries and research. Career opportunities include teaching in secondary schools, publishing, libraries, scientific research and cultural promotion. 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.
