The undergraduate programme in Language Mediation and Intercultural Communication (applied to economics, law and society) aims to train language mediators who possess solid language skills - combined with a sound knowledge of cultural studies and of the principles of economics, law, and sociology - and who are therefore capable of providing inter-linguistic services in a variety of contexts, ranging from public and private institutions, to schools and vocational training centres, to companies and other organizations in which language mediation and intercultural communication are of paramount importance.
Graduates from the degree programme in Language Mediation and Intercultural Communication (applied to economics, law and society) will find career opportunities in all areas involving international relations, both at the interpersonal level and in corporate contexts (foreign relations, import/export departments, employment in the foreign offices of Italian companies, or in the offices of foreign companies in Italy), public services, and tourism and related sectors of the hospitality industry. Further opportunities are available in document search activities ? both at national and at international level -, drafting memos, reports, minutes and other types of correspondence in a foreign language as well as Italian. The publishing sector also offers career prospects, ranging from the translation of semi-specialised texts in the domains of economics, law, sociology and cultural studies, to tourism, art publishing and journalism in general. Careers prospects exist wherever language mediation and intercultural communication activities occur in both the corporate sphere and public institutions. Additional employment opportunities are provided by partnership initiatives within the framework of international bodies and organisations, and by involvement in national and/or international projects (both at a European and at a supra-European level) requiring solid linguistic and cultural skills alongside a firm grasp of the principles of economics, sociology or law.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
Within the framework of the Erasmus programme, 58 exchange agreements are in place, covering 19 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Malta, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Rumania, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, plus Switzerland, which participates in the Erasmus + programme as a partner country. Additionally, Erasmus traineeship agreements have also been signed with companies and institutions in some of the above-mentioned countries.

Additionally, a number of exchange agreements are in place with partner universities in non-European countries. Under these agreements, students have the opportunity to attend classes and take exams at partner institutions. Such activities and exam results may be validated in full or in part, with the corresponding credits concurring to fulfil the requirements for the attainment of the degree. Courses are typically offered in the areas of languages and the humanities, and are available in the following partner institutions:

- ARGENTINA: Universidad Nacional de Villa María (Córdoba); Universidad Nacional de La Plata (La Plata)
- CIHNA: Liaoning Normal University

Besides the Erasmus exchange agreements, the Course also has one double degree program in place whereby participating students earn degrees from both institutions:

Participating UNIMI students spend the third year of their course at AMU Aix-Marseille Université. For further information please contact Prof. Giovanni Turchetta ([email protected])
