Glocal and linguo-cultural approach to double degrees: the special case of Italy and Spain

Translation studies as well as linguistic and cultural mediation studies have a strong international orientation. Nevertheless, differences in the length of study cycles and curricular design do obstacle the implementation of DD programs. One of the aims of the Bologna Process, to increase mobility, seems therefore to be only partly accomplished in these fields. The aim of this work is to introduce theoretical-methodological and practical assumptions of a long-term educational project. In the final part, it will be provided a brief account of the results of these years of double degree. The focus is on the specific difficulties of DD involving different academic curricula and language knowledge not as a tool but as an object of study. This work may also be useful as a model for other DDs between countries with different degree systems.
