Master programme
LM-92 R - Teorie della comunicazione
The Master's Degree Course offers the opportunity to carry out a training experience abroad, through the Erasmus+ Study Program, for a period of 6 months at various locations in France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Spain and Sweden, with the possibility of extending the stay or repeating the experience up to 12 months. Students who wish to carry out activities of course attendance, research and master's degree thesis, in disciplinary fields consistent with their training path, are interested.
In particular, we highlight the active agreements with the universities of Avignon, Le Mans, Lille and Paris (France), Heidelberg (Germany), Rotterdam (Netherlands), Warsaw and Wroclaw (Poland), Cardiff (United Kingdom), Prague (Czech Republic), Barcelona, Madrid and Zaragoza (Spain) and Stockholm (Sweden).
The exams taken abroad and the research and master's degree thesis activities are recognized following a study plan agreed with the host institution. Before leaving, students define a Learning agreement based on the exams and activities they intend to take at the partner University, corresponding to the needs of their study plan.
The Master's Degree Course also promotes the Erasmus+ Traineeship Program, which provides for mobility also for recent graduates within 12 months of graduation, at foreign institutions identified from time to time, for a period of internship that can be recognized, upon agreement, through university training credits (cfu) and registered on the 'Europass' document.
