Nowadays, more and more students start to pursue a degree in modern languages. A modern languages degree is not only related to learning a new language but also understand the cultural context of the countries in which the language is spoken.
Candidates studying a modern languages course will also be given knowledge and experience of the political and historical contexts of a particular region. On top of that, the use of literary texts and media will develop not only their skills but also their perception about learning a different language.
Due to the increased globalisation, there is a high demand for modern languages graduates. The ability to communicate in another language and understand its background is a major advantage.
Modern Language courses are designed to give students transferable skills, which can be applied in all areas of activity. Candidates will have high communication skills, accompanied by data collection and interpreting skills, which are appreciated by employers, regardless of your career choice.
Modern Languages Degrees are four years commitments, out of which one semester or a year should be spent abroad – in a partnered institution. This gives students the opportunity to practice the language they are studying and understand a new culture.
Modern Languages is a degree that can be studied either as a single honour degree or a joint honour degree. This gives students the ability to combine modern language with another course such as politics, literature, history and many others.
I spent some special years at D’Annunzio. An almost non-existent secretariat marked the disorganized days of constantly overlapping lessons. The teachers were good, at least some. Those who did not insult you or who explained things to you out of passion could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Few organized activities, little communication with students in general. But it is an unpretentious university, after all, it reflects the city of Pescara, which unfortunately is often left to abandon. Suffice it to say the times in which the manholes overflowed and made the streets the canals of Venice. I graduated during the Covid period, but I didn’t even want to go back to the University for a customary photo or anything else. It went well like this, a little university university experience.
