Education |
1999 University of Parma, Italy
Laurea cum Laude, Modern Languages – English, French
Thesis: “Irvine Welsh’s 'Trainspotting': from text to screen”
NB – Prior to 2000, Italian universities did not award short (bachelor) degrees. This and the fact that my thesis was a 40,000-word piece of original research, make my degree equivalent to an MA/MPhil.
1992 University of Wales, Cardiff, UK
One full academic year as part of the Erasmus exchange scheme, promoted by the European Union
Obtained the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English – Grade: A
I lived and worked in Britain (Cardiff and Bath) for a total of 2½ years. While in Bath, in 2001/02, I attended courses in Quark Xpress and Photoshop, obtaining a National Open College Network (NOCN) certificate for both. |
