Teaching and Learning

The Giacomo Leopardi School of Advanced Studies complements and enriches the degree syllabuses offered by the University of Macerata

While remaining distinct from the University curriculum, the School provides a comprehensive educational experience through a variety of offerings:

  • Regular Seminars: These seminars delve deeper into specific topics related to your chosen field of study.
  • Extracurricular Seminars: Expand your horizons and develop new skills through a variety of extracurricular seminars and workshops.
  • Foreign Language Courses and Certifications: The School offers opportunities to improve your foreign language proficiency and earn internationally recognized certifications (FCE and CAE).
  • IT Certifications: Pursue industry-standard IT certifications (ECDL) to enhance your employability.
  • International Mobility Syllabuses: Gain valuable international experience through study abroad or research collaborations.

Every year, the School’s Board of Directors and Scientific Committee collaborate to identify a central theme that is then woven throughout the educational offerings. This thematic approach encourages interdisciplinary learning and exploration of complex issues from diverse perspectives.

The School is divided into two Classes:

CLASS OF HUMANISTIC SCIENCES
For students who choose degree programs in the Departments of:

  • Humanities, Languages, Mediation, History, Literature, Philosophy
  • Education, Cultural Heritage and Tourism

CLASS OF SOCIAL SCIENCES
For students who choose degree programs in the Departments of:

  • Political Science, Communication and International Relations

Coursework and Seminars

Students are required to complete at least 70 hours of core coursework offered by the School each year. These in-depth studies equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle complex issues through an interdisciplinary lens.

The School also leverages its network of partner Schools of Advanced Studies to offer an expanded range of courses, further enriching the academic experience.
