Master’s Degree in Modern European and American Languages and Literatures

The Master's Degree in Modern European and American Languages and Literatures is offered by the University of Florence, Department FORLILPSI. It offers five distinct curricula, focused on translation, philological studies and bilateral European pathways, and includes practical laboratories and internships. Double degrees are provided with European universities (Bonn, Budapest, Debrecen, Paris 8), along with international mobility. 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 full-time and in person in Florence. The language of instruction is Italian, with courses in European and American languages. Professional internships with national and international institutions are provided.

The aim is to develop advanced language skills in several European and American languages, combined with literary and philological knowledge, with critical analysis and translation abilities. Career opportunities include the cultural, publishing and educational sectors, international cooperation, teaching, research and language mediation. 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.
