Communication skills. Bachelor’s graduates in Humanities are expected to communicate effectively with other specialists in the field, fostering interaction and collaboration. They should also be able to convey the concepts and methodologies of their discipline to non-specialist audiences. In this regard, formative and summative assessments will serve as key tools for exploring and refining specific components of the academic programme. Seminars and practical workshops, where included, will provide opportunities to develop and refine the ability to present the outcomes of one’s learning effectively to an audience. A key opportunity for the enhancement and assessment of analytical, interpretive, and communication skills is the final examination, which consists of the discussion, before an academic committee, of a written dissertation—whether original or not—on a topic addressed during the programme, potentially adopting an interdisciplinary approach. Study abroad experiences, strongly encouraged in keeping with the University’s long-standing tradition, also offer valuable opportunities for strengthening communication competencies.
Learning skills. The rigorous academic and cultural education provided by the Bachelor's degree in Humanities lays a solid foundation for continued study at Master's level and, where appropriate, for access to postgraduate programmes such as taught Master's degrees and doctoral research programmes. Through a strong methodological foundation offered by core subjects, the structured progression of coursework and assessments, and the final dissertation, students are guided to internalise critical thinking and reasoning skills. These, combined with a sound scientific and methodological grounding, equip graduates to address diverse and interdisciplinary challenges.
Making judgements. Bachelor’s graduates in Humanities are expected to acquire the capacity to critically and autonomously evaluate and integrate the knowledge and methodologies gained, with a strong awareness of their contribution to ethical growth and social responsibility. Instruction across the various disciplines is designed to cultivate and support the mature development and application of the ability to navigate complex issues in a cultured, adaptable, and original manner.
