University of Italian Studies for Foreigners of Perugia

Programme overview

This is a formal double Master’s arrangement between the University for Foreigners of Perugia (Master’s degree in Italian for Teaching to Foreigners, ItAS) and the Université de Lorraine (Métiers de l’Enseignement, de l’Éducation et de la Formation – MEEF, 2nd degree focus, Italian track). The agreement enables students to obtain the ItAS master’s qualification alongside the MEEF Italian-track master’s awarded by Université de Lorraine. The programme sits within an international academic cooperation framework and supports student mobility between the two institutions. Academic enquiries for the double degree are handled by Prof. Daniele Beltrame (daniele.beltrame@unistrapg.it).

What you'll study

The core intent is professional preparation for teaching Italian to non-native speakers, combined with the MEEF’s focus on teaching professions in the Italian language track. The double-degree pathway integrates the curricular aims of the ItAS master and the MEEF training for prospective teachers, offering coursework and practical elements aligned with teacher education standards at Université de Lorraine and the University for Foreigners of Perugia.

Career prospects

The combined ItAS–MEEF pathway is aimed at those preparing for careers in teaching Italian as a foreign language and other roles within education and training.
