Organs and structures

In line with the historical vocation of the University for Foreigners of Perugia, as an ambassador of the Italian language and culture around the world, the Department’s main mission is the study, promotion, and dissemination of Italy’s rich cultural heritage, encompassing the national language and its varieties, literature, arts, music, theatre, cinema, and audiovisual media, in harmony with the region and with national and international institutions pursuing similar goals.

The Department consolidates and integrates the University’s founding international vocation, in line with the current Statute, which in its first article assigns the University “to intercultural dialogue, communication, and international cooperation, in connection with the local area and its representative institutions, as well as national and international institutions pursuing similar goals.”
