Moral Sciences Class

The humanities program of the Galilean School admits each year students who wish to pursue studies in the fields of literature, languages, philosophy, and history.

When applying for admission, which takes place in September, candidates choose the subjects for the two written tests and the two oral tests: the first written test is Italian for all Italian citizens, while the second written test is chosen by the candidate from Greek, Latin, Philosophy, History, and Art History. The subjects for the two oral tests are also selected among these six subjects (more information can be found on the admission notice page).

Once the admission competition is passed, the Galilean student complements their university studies with the Galilean program, which includes courses and seminars conducted by internationally renowned professors, as well as dedicated lecturers and tutors.

The topics covered in the courses of the Moral Sciences class are designed as general introductions to research and have an interdisciplinary approach, fostering advanced methodological criteria and techniques common to all humanities disciplines.

As a general rule, during the first year, Galilean students are required to take four courses, and two in the second year. The overall Galilean program consists of a minimum of 9 Galilean courses and a maximum of 6 seminars; overall, the student must earn at least 48 Galilean credits. The final year’s study plan can follow an individual program under the guidance of tutors and the Class Coordinator.
