The Department is also actively involved in the``Laurea in Informatica Umanistica'', active since the academic year 2002/03 under the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy.
The curriculum aims at providing a solid culture in the literary, linguistic, historic, geographic and artistic fields, together with a good level of competence in computer science. Graduates should be able to apply autonomously computer science methods and tools to the processing of languages, texts, images and cultural contents in general and to keep up with technological innovations.
Students are required to become fluent in one of the languages of the European Union, besides Italian, and to acquire specific skills in professional writing and communication.
The balance between the different disciplines is as follows: 25 credits in Italian literature and linguistics; 45 credits in Latin, philology, glottology, foreign literature, history; 20 credits in history of arts, geography; 50 credits in computer science.
A final project consists in producing humanities content in the most appropriate electronic form.
