The Master's degree in Publishing, Communication and Fashion Cultures aims to:

a) develop professional skills that ensure an overall vision of the productive activities of the publishing system and of its general problems, ranging from production to consumption, with specific reference to book publishing, offering a wide range of options for in-depth study in the various spheres of the publishing culture, considered as the study of the transmission of texts and the study of the techniques required to publish printed or electronic texts;

b) build linguistic, philosophical, aesthetic, historical, logical and rhetoric skills with special focus on the principles of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and the theoretical and methodological know-how that is useful for a detailed analysis of the communication systems of mediological and sectoral languages, to produce texts in the framework of the said languages, to design communication models to be used in the fields of advertising, mass media and corporate communication, also with the support of the telecommunication structures of the University's Service Center for technologies, multimedia and distance teaching (Centro di servizio per le tecnologie e la didattica universitaria multimediale e a distanza, CTU);

c) build competence focused on training professionals skilled in operating in the framework of fashion, with solid humanistic and interdisciplinary knowledge, able to meet the demand for new emerging professional figures in a field that is now consolidated, concerned not only with strictly commercial effects but also with repercussion in terms of culture and identity of the Italian fashion sector, considered as cultural heritage to be optimised (with specialised communication, archives, museums, conventional and electronic exhibitions, websites, etc.).
The level of knowledge and skills achieved will enable graduates in Publishing and Communication, Fashion Cultures to carry out a working activity, also in responsible positions, in various sectors of publishing companies and more generally in any public or private organisation that includes publishing activity, as specialists in literary and documentary language disciplines. The high level of education and knowledge in the history of books, publishing, modern and contemporary editions will allow the inclusion of graduates in Publishing, Communication and Fashion Cultures in the offices dedicated to organizing cultural activities in the various spheres of state, regional and municipal public administration, and to assume positions of responsibility in editorial archives, in public and private libraries and study centers or to engage in self- employment as entrepreneurs and administrators or with managerial functions , especially in publishing companies.

The expected professional opportunities also concern the field of communication and dissemination of knowledge in various fields of mass media and advertising, with a high level of mastery of new technologies. In addition to image management in museums and archives, the organization and care of communication events, the professional profile of graduates in this class of studies will allow the conception and organization of diverse and multidisciplinary cultural events, in which the development of visual and multimedia communication models are ideally applied. Moreover, graduates may find employment in the advertising and mass media sectors (also as managers of advertising and public relations departments), as well as managerial functions in national or international organizations.

Finally, graduates will be able to acquire a highly specialized profile in the fashion sector, unique in the current humanistic landscape, which will allow entry into firms operating at multiple levels in the fashion chains, in Italy and abroad. The acquired cultural and professional skills will also allow them to carry on managerial jobs in fashion newspapers and magazines, specialized agencies, public relations offices, institutional archives, public and private cultural bodies linked to the world of fashion, and will prepare entrepreneurs and managers in manufacturing and commercial fashion companies.

At the end of their course of study graduates in Publishing and Communication, Fashion Cultures will possess the cultural competence needed to access a PhD programme. They will also be eligible, after due selection, for the Master?s degree programme in Book Publishing organised by the Faculty of Humanities of the Università degli Studi di Milano in partnership with Fondazione Mondadori and with Associazione Italiana Editori or for the Master's degree programme in Public History and the Master's degree programme in Digital Humanities organised by the Department of Historical Studies of the Università degli Studi di Milano, the first in partnership with Fondazione Feltrinelli and the second in partnership with Municipality of Milan.
