Who it's for
This integrative teaching activity is aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at new students in the first-cycle degree courses in Artistic, library's and performing arts heritage, Modern foreign languages and civilisations, Humanities, Educational sciences and Philosophical studies and aims to integrate the basic knowledge needed to profitably attend the corresponding courses or to approach certain basic disciplines, with a view to a more complete humanities education. Therefore, no prior knowledge is required and students from years after I and from other first-cycle degree courses, first- and second-cycle degree courses, from the humanities or other fields, are admitted to the preparatory courses of the IDEA project, also with no inscription requirement.
Propaedeutic courses generally begin in the first semester and total 40 hours.
