Introduction

Studying Philosophy, Arts and Letters broadens horizons on the world. It is designed to provide a rigorous general training course related to a linguistic and literary specialisation.

By the end of the first cycle, you will have

• gained solid general, literary and historical knowledge;
• developed your skills in argumentation and writing;
• developed your literary sensitivity and be capable of commenting on and interpreting a poetic, narrative or dramatic text;
• powerful tools at your disposal for analysing language;
• reached a good level in both speaking and writing in Spanish and Italian.

Your profile

To start studying French and Romance languages and letters, it is not always necessary to have already made a clear choice of career or to only go into teaching. A marked interest in literature and curiosity about the French language (and also for Spanish and Italian) are also excellent reasons to embark on this venture!

Your future job

Our students become teachers, booksellers, journalists, researchers, but also, for example, commercial representatives, writers and theatre directors. They can also be found working as advisers in multimedia and communication, editorial and production assistants in publishing or as HR managers in business etc.
