The teaching regulations of the study course depend on the following organisational aspects: educational goals, access methods, study plan, exams, final exam, job opportunities, etc. Throughout their university career, students must refer to the teaching regulations enforced from their matriculation.
Open admission.
Quota reserved to non-EU students residing outside Italy: 7 seats, of which 4 are reserved for Chinese students living in China, under the Marco Polo Project.
To access the course, a previous suitable background is required. Each curriculum requires specific knowledge, which the student should have before enrolling the university in order to attend the course successfully. This knowledge may be verified before enrolling.
If the result of the test is negative, the student can enroll, but they receive a supplementary required exam (OFA), which means that the student must fill any gaps in their background through specific activities organized by the University.
More information on OFA for this programme is available on the webpage dedicated to the admission requirements.
Applicants with international qualification must have obtained a secondary school diploma after having completed at least 12 years of schooling. The preliminary evaluation of the qualification is mandatory. Procedures and deadlines are available on the dedicated online platform.
The course offers a basic training with a historic-methodological approach (particularly linguistic, philological, literary and historic) focusing on the linguistic history and the figurative/literary culture of the ancient Mediterranean and Europe from Medieval times to the present day (with specific attention to the Italian rule and more generally the Romanic one).
The course is divided into two curricula (Science of the Literary Text and Communication / Antiquity), which differ thematically (the first devoted to medieval and modern literature and philology, the second to studies on Greco-Latin and Mediterranean antiquity), and share not only certain subject areas, but also methodologies (applied to differentiated diachronic fields) and scientific motivations.
Ca' Foscari University of Venice offers international educational programmes designed in collaboration with one or more partner universities, entailing the attendance of part of the study path abroad. At the conclusion of these programmes, selected students obtain a Double Degree (a diploma from Ca' Foscari and one issued by the partner university) or a Joint Degree (single degree jointly awarded by the member universities of the consortium delivering the programme), depending on the provisions of the agreements with the partner universities and the different national regulations.
Double and Joint Degrees available:
Learning activities comprise taught courses, tests/seminars, workshop-based activities and internships; acquisition of competencies is tested by means of written and oral exams.
