The action involves the modification of the structure of the MA Degree in Languages for Tourism and Business Communication. It is divided into two main actions. The first concerns the strengthening of the curricular language offering with the introduction in the second year of the teaching of Varieties of Chinese 2, in line with the two-year teaching of all the other languages. The second line of action envisages the creation of a new curriculum with a focus on multilingualism and interculture in the field of marketing, to be added to the two existing curricula (‘International Business Relations’ and ‘Tourism Promotion’) and aimed at the creation of double degree agreements with foreign universities. Given its internationalized character, the new curriculum proposes a package of courses delivered in English for a total of 30 CFU. The new curriculum is scheduled to come into force in the academic year 2024-2025. 

The action will then continue with the aim of realising double degree agreements with foreign universities.

 This action aims at expanding the internationalization of the LM-37 in Languages, Literatures and Digital Culture, with regard, in particular, to the Digital Culture curriculum.  

The aim is to initiate a Double Degree with the Master’s Degree in Linguistique appliquée of the Université Grenoble Alpes (France), destined to Univr students having French and English as their curricular languages. This agreement will allow for in-depth study of linguistics and digital tools applied to language studies, also with regard to inclusion. 

The action is divided into three phases. The first phase (2023) includes preliminary work and the stipulation of the agreement. Deliverable: Stipulation of the Double Degree agreement. 

The second phase (2024/2025/2026) involves the launch of the Double Degree with the first incoming mobility exchange in A.Y. 2024/2025 and the first outgoing exchange in A.Y. 2025/2026. Deliverable: Launch of the Double Degree program. 

The third phase (2027/2028) consists of monitoring these first experiences, with possible adjustments, and continuing the program. Deliverables: Monitoring and continuation of the Double Degree.

Highly qualified teaching activities (third cycle). The two PhD programmes hosted by the Department (DiLLS) will link up with the second-cycle programmes, consolidating their thematic initiatives, expanding the teaching programme in the direction of inclusion and providing additional scholarships dedicated to the research projects of the Project of Excellence (PoE) of the Department, in line with what was already successfully implemented in the previous PoE. There will also be regular and monitored interaction between the different levels of teaching and the research activity of the DiLLS. The presence of foreign scholars of great renown with whom the DiLLS collaborates will further contribute to the internationalization of the teaching programme.
