Subject – Purpose
The main objective of this Programme of Studies is to provide specialized and systematic knowledge in the field of Contemporary Italian Culture, in accordance with the requirements of science and the current needs of the labour market in Greece and internationally. The scientific perspective adopted concerns the acquisition of knowledge, the development of skills-competences and communicative flexibility in the field of Italian language, with a focus on contemporary, specific professional perspectives.

This teaching proposal focuses on an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to selected themes, with the aim of outlining the formation and evolution of Italian culture in the 20th century and its integration into a broader context of aesthetic and ideological considerations and cultural ferment, with the following scientific objectives:

  1. Linking the acquired knowledge with the modern era and the European reality.

Instructions for the selection of Th.U.

You can choose from one (1) to three (3) Th.U. per semester (30 ECTS), with the limitation of 30 ECTS per semester.

The selection of the Th.U. is made in the order of the structure. Therefore, in the first semester, if you wish to select one (1) Th.U., you must necessarily declare ITA50. If you wish to choose two (2) Th.U., you must choose ITA50 and ITA51. If you wish to choose three (3) Th.U., you must choose ITA50, ITA51 and ITA52. Therefore, the student is required to select the first 3 Th.U.in sequential order.

In the second semester, if you have successfully completed the Th.U. ITA50, in the second semester the student, with a limit of 3 Th.U., must first of all choose the remaining ones from the first semester and additionally choose one or more Th.U. from the second semester. If you have not registered for the examinations for ITA50, you must register for it in the second semester.

In the third semester, if you have successfully completed ITA50, you must first choose any remaining Th.U. from the total of the Th.U. offered in the first two (2) semesters, always with a limit of 3 TH.U. Since, apart from the compulsory Th.U. ITA60, the Th.U. offered in the third semester are electives, you can choose 2 out of the 3. If you have not registered for ITA50, you will be obliged to register for it in the third semester.

The successful completion of the nine (9) Th.U.offered in the first three semesters is required for the preparation of the Master’s Thesis (ITA 64), while the ITA 64 can be declared in parallel with the preparation of the Master’s Thesis, if it is included in the 4th semester.

However, during the process of registering for a Th.U., the Th.U.of the previous semester must be exhausted first and then the subjects of the next semester must be registered.

Attention: the limit of three (3) Th.U. per semester does not include Th.U. in which the students are re-registered after having earned the right to participate in examinations, provided that the total number of Th.U. registered per year does not exceed 60 ECTS.

For the award of the Postgraduate Diploma of Specialization (P.D.Th.), the successful completion of either eight (8) Th.U. and two (2) ECTS, or nine (9) Th.U. and one (1) ECTS, as well as the successful completion and presentation of the Postgraduate Master’s Thesis in both options is mandatory.
