The binational degree: an important opportunity

The Master’s degree allows you to pursue a dual degree, valid both in Italy and France. It is an important opportunity for training and job prospects, as it opens up multiple professional possibilities, both for employment in France and for access to international public competitions, but also for a career in European universities. A binational degree also represents a qualification that significantly increases the prestige of your CV for use at an international level.

How the binational pathway is structured

The pathway to obtaining the dual degree involves a one-year stay (the second) at the University of Chambéry, in a modern university structure, suitable for students and open to intercultural exchange. During this period the student will have the opportunity to acquire excellent language skills, and also to deepen their knowledge of French culture, as well as living in contact with an international environment, which is also a great stimulus for personal enrichment. In that year, the student will prepare a study plan agreed with the tutor teacher and the contact teacher in Chambéry. He/she will then follow the courses and take the exams scheduled at the host institution. At the end of the course abroad, the Vercelli study course will recognise the exams taken.
Students interested in undertaking the binational path in their second year are required to have a level of knowledge of the French language equal to B1 or higher, already upon departure for Chambéry. Interested students will previously be able to achieve this language level through the Department's training courses.

New experiences and a rich educational proposal

The training offer includes a rich choice of language, literature, culture, history and valorisation of cultural heritage exams, which completes the course of study and opens up new perspectives of learning and entry into the world of work.

As part of the Master's degree course, there are two tracks: one, with the Master’s “Langues, littératures et civilisations étrangères et régionales- Parcours Études Transfrontalières”, focused on in-depth study of linguistic and literary aspects; the other, with the Master’s “Histoire, civilisations, patrimoine”, oriented towards the study and valorisation of cultural heritage, with in-depth studies in the historical, historical-artistic, cultural policies and culture of the Alpine world.
