Courses

 

The ISA formative track includes courses at BSc level (1-3) and MSc level (1-2, optional and facultative courses).

The BSc courses seek to provide the foundational and methodological instruments of the historical and theoretical disciplines, while the MSc courses deal with specific topics and, in some cases, take the form of seminars.

Interdisciplinary workshops and public lectures by visiting professors complete the educational offering.
