Master 2019/20 - Università della Svizzera italiana | USI
Benvenuto         Care studentesse, cari studenti,                            Welcome             Dear students,
                  perché scegliere un Master tra quelli proposti                                  What are the reasons for choosing a Master degree

dell’Università   Credo ci siano varie ragioni che potrebbero                 of the Università   I believe there are a few that you may find convincing.
della Svizzera    convincervi.                                                della Svizzera      For most of you, the two years you will spend on a
italiana          Per la maggior parte di voi, i due anni di un Master        italiana            Master programme are likely to be the last before
                  saranno gli ultimi anni di studio prima di entrare nel                          you join the workplace. So, why not give a perfect
                  mondo del lavoro. Si tratta quindi di «finire in                                finish to your university years with a good training
                  bellezza», completando la vostra formazione al                                  and by acquiring skills that will be useful for the years
                  meglio, acquistando competenze che vi saranno utili                             to come, and take this unique opportunity to make
                  per sempre e approfittando di questi anni preziosi                              friends and establish a first professional network.
                  per farvi amici e costruire una rete professionale.                             For all of this, it is important that teachers make them-
                  Per tutto questo è importante che gli insegnanti                                selves available to you and that the study curricula
                  siano disponibili e che le formazioni siano pensate                             be designed to reach these objectives. This is exactly
                  in vista del raggiungimento di questi obiettivi. È il                           what our programmes offer. Our teacher/student ratio

                  impiego: 8 alumni su 10 lavorano in un settore                                  is consistent with their training, and 9 out of 10 claim to
                  coerente con la propria formazione e 9 su 10 se ne                              be satisfied with their occupation. Our Master degrees
                  dichiarano soddisfatti. I Master dell’USI ricoprono un                          cover a wide range of disciplines, including Philosophy,
                  largo spettro di discipline, che spazia dalla filosofia                         Artificial Intelligence, Finance, Marketing, and Digital

Lingua, letteratura e civiltà italiana.
     Ha scritto Yves Bonnefoy che l’arte italiana è
     l’«arrière-pays», il retroterra di qualsiasi
     esperienza e memoria del bello; e Osip
     Mandelštam osservò che per leggere Dante
     occorre avere uno sguardo volto al futuro.
     Questo è l’ambito della civiltà italiana: la
     memoria di una perfezione condivisa, l’eserci-
     zio di un pensiero capace di abbracciare gli
     ‘universali’ della condizione umana. Questa
     universalità non è somma di digressioni
     all’infinito: è, al contrario, come scrisse Jorge
     Luis Borges della “Divina Commedia”, capacità
     di racchiudere tutta una vita in un verso.
     Comprendere il vissuto della storia, gli
     universali del pensiero, stringerli in sintesi,
     offrirli come una ‘prospettiva’: arte, filosofia,
     poesia, spiritualità chiamate a dar forma
     all’essenziale.

Philosophy.
     The Master in Philosophy at USI is a research
     master with a special focus on theoretical
     philosophy and its history.
     It is a research master in that it requires
     students to submit regular written work, to
     produce research papers and to develop their
     discussion skills in class. It focuses on
     theoretical philosophy and its history in
     particular. The master offers courses in
     contemporary analytic philosophy, metaphys-
     ics and philosophy of mind, and in the history
     of philosophy, ancient and medieval, which are
     designed to complement each other. Unlike
     other masters in philosophy, the Master in
     Philosophy at USI has a strong thematic unity.
     The topic of the programme is time and
     existence. The detailed exploration of the
     philosophy of time and existence aims to
     provide a full grasp of two central interrelated
     philosophical topics and an introduction to
     contemporary research in philosophy and the
     history of philosophy.
