Masters in Crossways in Cultural Narratives
Education objectives
The Erasmus Mundus Masters Course Crossways in Cultural Narratives has three principal objectives: 1° to promote studies crossing boundary-lines of all types, and to explore European culture in its relations with other continents, thereby fostering the knowledge of a rich European diversity, and the awareness and feeling of a common European identity; 2° to introduce students to a variety of methodological approaches (made possible by the combination of different national cultural heritages) in preparation for advanced doctoral research in the field of the Humanities; 3° to provide future managers with the knowledge and expertise required of people who are to play key roles in international institutions, national administrations or large media groups.
