If you are in a favourable position in the ranking and have obtained a score lower than 13/30 in the section relating to “Comprehension of the text and knowledge of the Italian language”, you can enrol within the deadlines but during the first year you will have to fulfil additional educational requirements (OFA) in Italian. To make up for the OFAs, the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy organises a course on Moodle entitled OF@SAPIENZA - Italian Section, which you can access from the Minimum Knowledge section with your Sapienza credentials (https://elearning.uniroma1.it/course/index.php?categoryid=1071). This allows you to practise online while following the video lessons and taking the self-assessment tests. You can also refer to tutors who will guide you if you need further help. Additional educational requirements (OFA) are considered to be met by passing the assessment test held three times a year at the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy (see the Faculty's website in the Orientation section: https://lettere.web.uniroma1.it/it/orientamento to choose your preferred date), or by taking one of the following curricular exams: - Italian Literature; - Contemporary Italian Literature; - Introduction to Literary Criticism and Comparative Literature. Information regarding OFAs will also be published in the Attendance section of the programme page in the course catalogue https://corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it/ 

Failure to complete the OFA will result in the inability, starting from the 2026-2027 academic year, to take exams relating to years subsequent to the first.

Four OFA tests have been scheduled for the 2025/2026 academic year:
- 8 January 2026, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- 2 March 2026, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- 8 June 2026, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- 9 September 2026, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The CdS promotes and disseminates on its website news and notices on initiatives of any kind, organised within the CdS itself or as part of activities promoted by other structures of Sapienza or outside it. The CdS also has a Delegate for Traineeships and AAF, Prof. Christos Bintoudis, whom students can contact for clarification and instructions on current initiatives. A table with all the activities that can be carried out in order to obtain the cfu related to the Apprenticeship is published on the course portal and in the Teaching Regulations.

The Master's programme requires students to earn 6 credits in internships and/or AAF activities over the three-year period.
You will find all the information you need about the internships offered and how to complete and record them on this page.
For further information, please contact the Coordinator of the SEAI Department Internship Committee, Prof. Stefano Tedeschi: stefano.tedeschi@uniroma1.it.

The course of study employs tutors who support students in the transition from one year to the next, both with regard to organisational aspects as well as course selection and orientation for the preparation of the thesis.

The Library of Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures, located in the Marco Polo building where the degree program is based, houses a collection of approximately 200,000 volumes. It extensively documents and provides high-level, specialized content in the fields of English, German, French, Slavic, and Hungarian language and literature, and, to a lesser extent, Flemish and Nordic. Over the years, it has acquired precious library collections (Malvezzi, Paul Valery, Mac Pherson, Bertea, and others) and hosts around one hundred rare books, including several 17th-century volumes.
One of its main strengths is the Slavic studies section, which features around 80,000 volumes of Russian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, Ukrainian, Macedonian, and Belarusian language and literature. Thanks to the acquisition of several collections over the years (the private libraries of Ripellino, Nicolai, Martini, Lo Gatto, Costantini, and Zahorski), it is considered the richest and most valuable Slavic collection in Western Europe.
The library offers ample space for study, with convenient hours and easy, efficient access to both borrowing services and on-site consultation. Meanwhile, the Marco Polo building itself provides options for self-study using personal materials, thanks to its large spaces and the availability of chairs and tables on virtually every floor.

The CGAQ of the CdS in Languages, Cultures, Literatures, Translation interacts closely with the Job Placement Sector, actively participating in meetings and publicising all the initiatives organised and/or promoted by this Sector on its website and, above all, on its social media pages (Facebook and Instagram).
Formal or informal consultation with stakeholders actively contributes to the definition of more suitable training paths for LCLT graduates entering the world of work.
