The Course prepares students for the most innovative professions in the field of language mediation and provides integrated linguistic, humanistic and technological skills. In particular, students may choose between a trilingual Curriculum and three bilingual Curricula: Linguistic Mediation and Language Technologies, Linguistic Mediation for Media and Digital Communication, and Linguistic Mediation for Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality Management.
From the very first year, students are introduced to translation, interpreting, sector-specific languages – such as those used in publishing, sport, and entertainment – and specialist varieties including medical and legal language, ensuring training that integrates technical skills and intercultural awareness. Students will also acquire professional skills in the digital field and in the use of new technologies and artificial intelligence systems applied to translation and interpreting techniques.
Alongside the intensive study of relevant languages and cultures, the Course places strong emphasis on emerging language technologies and encourages critical reflection on linguistic and cultural mechanisms through courses in general and acquisitional linguistics, corpus-based sociolinguistics, the linguistics of digital communication, and the linguistics of variation and contact. Particular attention is paid to Italian culture, with courses in contemporary Italian language and literature, Italian Sign Language, and dedicated pathways for international students.
In the 2025/2026 Censis ranking of Bachelor's degree courses in the linguistic sector, the Bachelor's degree course in Languages for Interpreting and Translation is placed second in Italy among non-state universities offering Bachelor's degree courses in the linguistic sector.
Thanks to UNINT's innovative teaching formula, students can attend both in-presence and live-stream lectures through the UNINT Everywhere platform.

Courses
The training pathway of the Degree course in Languages for Interpreting and Translation is structured in such a way as to provide, over the three years of study, solid knowledge of two or three languages - to be chosen among the nine offered - and of the relative techniques for translation and interpretation.
In all Curricula, the Course combines the in-depth study of the languages and their relative cultures with a critical reflection on linguistic mechanisms - through courses focused on linguistics and the Italian language - in order to develop linguistic awareness and the ability to understand new languages and cultures. Particular attention is paid to practical training, with an introduction to translation, interpretation, the most significant sector-specific languages, and the digital skills essential for working in language-related professions.
In particular:
- The highly specialised TrilingualCurriculum requires students to select one European language and two other languages from the nine offered by the University, together with their respective cultures. At each language level, dedicated modules are provided on interpreting and translation techniques.
- The Bilingual Curriculum in Linguistic Mediation for Media and Digital Communication enables students to combine the study of two languages with the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to digital media communication, such as linguistics of digital communication, communication law, digital marketing, web-writing techniques, and social media management.
- The Bilingual Curriculum in Linguistic Mediation and Language Technologies integrates the study of two foreign languages and the cultures of their respective countries with expertise in the use of artificial intelligence and technologies supporting language-related professions. Alongside theoretical courses such as general and acquisitional linguistics, comparative literature, communication law, and corpus-based sociolinguistics, the curriculum places strong emphasis on practical laboratories, translation technologies, digital tools, and artificial intelligence modules.
- The Bilingual Curriculum in Linguistic Mediation for Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality Management integrates the study of two languages with courses - also delivered in English - focusing on global trends in sustainable tourism, the "green" management of hospitality facilities, environmental law, and the linguistics of international tourism communication.
Digital skills, laboratories and soft skills
The professional profile of the Course is further strenghtened by the presence of courses designed to develop transversal competences (soft skills) and two laboratories focused on digital skills: the Digital and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Laboratory on Technologies for Translation and Interpretation (Levels I and II).
Students may also choose to attend either the Laboratory on Virtual and augmented (delivered using state-of-the-art headsets) or the Project Management Laboratory for language-related professions, as an alternative to the internship.
Language training and certifications
Graduates of the Degree course will develop solid skills related to intercultural communication, thanks to the possibility of choosing among nine languages of study.
