Dear readers,
I am Serena, an Italian student who is about to finish her university career at the University of Milan. I studied Linguistic and Cultural Mediation because I have always been passionate about the languages and cultures of others. I studied English, Spanish and Arabic, but the program also includes the study of economic, legal and political subjects. You can choose to study two languages between the European (English, Spanish, French and German) and non-European options (Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Chinese and Japanese)
I am very satisfied with how this degree course has allowed me to have a broad and satisfying knowledge of these last subjects that I have mentioned, but as far as languages are concerned, I am not very satisfied. The language courses are not well organized and the teachers are competent but disorganized.
Overall, however, this university experience has given me the basis in many subjects that will be useful to me in the master’s degree. A positive aspect of the linguistic and cultural mediation course is that it opens the doors to many master’s degrees.
In general, the University of Milan is an excellent public university, with many interesting three-year and master’s courses, it is cheap and accessible to everyone.
Thanks for reading, I hope it was helpful. Good studies to everyone!
Serena
