Master programme
LM-37 - Modern european and american languages and literatures
The aim of the course is to develop a set of high-level methodological and theoretical-scientific skills in one or two European languages and literatures, considering their evolution and forms of expression in both their original areas and in those of more recent expansion. The course leaves a wide margin for personalization and allows students to build a coherent study plan, combining foreign languages and literatures with other fields of Humanities. Depending on the approach chosen and the subject of the Master's dissertation, students will be able to organize their study plan according to specific perspectives, such as: linguistics, philology and translation studies; literature and comparative studies; the historical, geographical and philosophical areas; the field of communication, editorial activity and artistic expression; teaching as a foreign language subjects useful to acquire the requested credits for the training of future secondary teachers.
Graduates in European and extra-european languages and literatures develop a wealth of competences and skills that allow them to work, even with a high level of responsibility, in a variety of professional fields, especially those requiring written and oral command of foreign languages accompanied by a solid preparation in humanities.
The main employment opportunities for graduates in European and extraeuropean foreign languages and literatures are:

The Master programme in European and extraeuropean languages and literatures has always been characterized by its strong international vocation, in. The programme can boast a significant number of mobility agreements for students which is constantly increasing.
As part of the Erasmus + programme, a high number of scholarships are made available each year for study periods of a semester to an entire academic year, in agreement with many partner universities located in different European countries. Other opportunities are offered, such as Traineeship programme (working periods abroad) and joint degrees (Avignon and Mainz universities, at the moment). Bilateral agreements and conventions are also currently running with important universities in Latin America and the UK to promote student mobility outside the European Union, and more agreements are active with universities located in Canada, India and the United States.
During the abroad stay, students attend courses that are compatible with those they would have attended in their home University in Milan, following a training project designed with a tutor in the months preceding their departure, and culminating in the draft of a study contract (the Learning Agreement). Coordination with the tutors (one or more for each language area) ensures expert support and guidance throughout the process, as well as full validation of the credits acquired abroad. In addition, the abroad stay can be extremely helpful in carrying out the final project research and writing the dissertation.
The experience of university and daily life in the country of one of the elected languages and literatures represents a unique opportunity for students to improve their linguistic competence. A study abroad stay is also a period of personal and relational growth, as well as of cultural, historical and artistic advancement, which favors mutual comprehension and the integration in the complex contemporary society.
The course programme provides substantial support to interested students through specialised manuals on partner Universities and their locations, and through an orientation and tutoring service, which can be accessed in person or via email. The service is aimed at assisting in fulfilling the application, in the drafting of the Learning Agreement and in the preparation of administrative documents.

Dato il carattere seminariale di molte attività didattiche, la frequenza è fortemente consigliata per tutti gli insegnamenti e per le esercitazioni linguistiche. In alcuni casi (laboratori in presenza) è obbligatoria per poter acquisire i relativi crediti. La frequenza assidua può garantire, se previsto dal singolo insegnamento o esercitazione, la possibilità di sostenere prove intermedie o di accedere ad altre modalità di valutazione continua, che potranno sostituire parti dell'esame finale o a contribuire alla valutazione in trentesimi. Indicazioni dettagliate per frequentanti e non frequentanti sono disponibili nelle schede di ogni insegnamento (https://lingue-lm.cdl.unimi.it/it/insegnamenti/elenco-insegnamenti-z).

e - FREE CHOICE CREDITS
Students are free to use 9 credits, allocating them to take any of the courses offered by the University, whether at B.A. or M.A. level, while observing the general maximum amount of 18 credits for each course.
Students can allocate the 9 credits in one of the following way:
- 1 exam for 9 credits: in this case, the 6 credits exams chosen among the Core and Elective Courses will count for 6 credits. The total number of exams to be taken in the study plan will ascend to 12.
- 1 exam for 6 credits: in this case, the remaining 3 credits must be allocated to one of the 6 credits exams chosen among the Core and Elective Courses. The total number of exams to be taken in the study plan will ascend to 12.
- no exam: in this case, the 9 credits must necessarily be allocated to three of the 6 credits exams chosen among the Core and Elective Courses. The total number of exams to be taken in the study plan will ascend to 11.
Although it is permitted to allocate the free choice credits to any exam offered by the University, it is strongly recommended to maintain a strict degree of coherence with the core of the M.A. programme in European and Extra-European Languages and Literatures.

f - OTHER ACTIVITIES
As a general rule, "Other Activities" credits may be acquired attending one of the several "Laboratori" offered by the M.A. programme; further details can be found at a specific page on the M.A. website (https://lingue-lm.cdl.unimi.it/it/insegnamenti/laboratori). "Laboratori" are short or intensive workshops, either held in class (usually for a total of ten meetings), or in remote learning, with a restricted number of participants, specific aims not covered by standard courses, and a set of rules for enrolment. Workshops usually require regular attendance, since the 3 credits are earned through attendance alone and, in some cases, by taking a final examination, or by delivering reports, presentations or fulfilling other types of tasks. Workshops are not graded as normal courses; they are simply passed or failed.
All year long the M.A. programme offers conferences, activities in collaboration with external institutions (such as secondary schools, theatres, cultural organisations, etc.), work experiences and projects of cultural or social relevance. Participation in such initiatives may result in the recognition of 3 credits as "Attività Sostitutive di Laboratorio" (ASL); further details can be found at a specific page on the M.A. website (https://lingue-lm.cdl.unimi.it/it/insegnamenti/attivita-sostitutive-di-laboratorio).
Alternatively, "Other Activities" credits can be acquired also through certified proficiency in other languages, training and orientation courses, other knowledge considered useful for job placement, internships or apprenticeships in private or public companies or institutions. Requests for validation of these skills or experiences should be submitted to the appropriate Committee through the form provided on the University website (https://www.unimi.it/en/study/traineeships-and-work/traineeships-and-internships/tutors-curricular-internships-and-ects-credits/humanities-internships) and hand it in to the Student Registrar through InformaStudenti.

As a general rule, the examinations are to be taken in no particular order, and students have considerable independence. The exams listed below must necessarily be taken in a specific order, under penalty of cancellation of those taken irregularly by the University Administration.
- General Linguistics must be taken before Interlinguistics
- Foreign language exams: all the exams of the first year (indicated as "LM1") are preparatory to those of the second (indicated as "LM2"); therefore, before taking a second year Language exam, it is necessary to have taken and registered the first year exam of that same Language.
