Course description
The programme aims to broaden the skills acquired by students during their Bachelor's degree, with particular attention to international issues. In particular, the courses have an international focus that enriches the multidisciplinary skills already acquired in the legal, political-science, geographical and historical fields, prioritising international, geopolitical and comparative aspects. The specific character of the programme is ensured through specialist courses that represent the natural evolution and continuation of the Bachelor's study path. There are no tracks. To highlight the specific scientific and teaching approach, course titles do not follow the ministerial names of the disciplinary fields. Knowledge of at least one European Union language (other than Italian) is also required, along with traineeship and seminar activities.
