What do you learn?

Subjects of the course are divided into interdisciplinary training activities regarding: visual culture, semiotics of cultural heritage, philosophy of experience, anthropology, food and wine and cultural heritage management.

In addition to these subjects, which provide the theoretical foundations of the degree course, there are optional subjects that enable students to personalise their course of study, but also to specialize their skills in a specific field of communication: for example, they can study Mediterranean or Arab-Islamic cultures, heritage legislation, economy of industrial culture, art criticism, curatorial practices and exhibitions, linguistic translation, intercultural theory and techniques of seriality.

In order to make the formative pathway coherent with the needs expressed by the job market, laboratory-type teachings (such as exhibit design, advertising planning, service design, virtual archaeology) offer students the opportunity to create a real communication product.
