Il curriculum perfeziona la competenza su due lingue straniere per la comunicazione orale e scritta affiancando ad essa un'articolata conoscenza dei contesti culturali di almeno una delle lingue studiate e dei linguaggi specialistici che la rappresentano e conoscenze trasversali di tipo storico, spaziale, antropologico e sociale.

Under these agreements, students have the opportunity to attend classes and take exams at partner institutions.

UNIMI students accepted in the programme spend the second year of their course at RSUH, while Russian students spend their second and third terms at UNIMI; students who successfully complete the prescribed courses laid out in the joint degree agreement are awarded degrees by both universities.
