Programme overview

“All roads lead to Rome!” This ancient saying is still relevant today. The Italian language, literature, and culture can open many diverse paths.

Students of Italian Philology will learn the Italian language professionally and become familiar with the history of Italy and the history of Italian literature and language. During their studies, they will develop skills to analyze and assess the Italian language, culture, and literary phenomena in a broader context. By understanding the country’s cultural and social specifics, graduates will also gain translation and cultural mediation competencies.

Classes are taught by highly qualified lecturers, most of whom are native speakers.

The programme is tailored to individual student needs, as it offers the opportunity to choose a certain number of subjects from other fields of study.

Graduates will be able to understand, create, and edit texts of various genres in the Italian language, choose appropriate language tools and styles, and communicate correctly and effectively in Italian (C1/C2) in various situations. They will be able to research a linguistic or literary problem, describe the results of the research in an academic text, present it publicly, and defend their opinion. They will be able to analyze Italy’s sociocultural context, identify the most prominent features of Italian culture, and evaluate it within a broader context.

Students from the EU/EEA, Lithuanian nationals residing abroad, and people of Lithuanian origin can apply for a state-funded study place.
