The Bachelor's Degree Course in Political, diplomatic and governmental sciences is a strategic and timely choice for candidates who wish to understand and manage the political, administrative and international processes shaping the contemporary world.
At a time when the Italian public administration is at the centre of a major generational renewal plan and is embarking on a massive recruitment drive, this course prepares figures with transversal, dynamic and highly sought-after skills in both the public and private sector. A unique opportunity for young people wishing to build a career in central or local institutions. This degree course proposed by Link was created precisely in response to such a growing demand for skills, combining academic rigour and practical preparation.
However, the value of the course does not end with preparation for public competitions. The course is distinguished by its transversality, which also allows graduates to orient themselves towards the private sector, international organisations, diplomacy and European careers. The candidates who study Political Science at Link Campus University will acquire skills aimed at analyzing geopolitical phenomena, designing public policies, working in international cooperation or dealing with institutional communication and lobbying.
MODALITY OF FRUITION
The course provides for non-compulsory attendance of lessons. Furthermore, in order to meet the diverse needs of students, the lessons are video-recorded and made available on digital platforms in asynchronous mode. This additional opportunity allows students to organize their study and revision times independently.Theoretical teaching is complemented by practical and professionalizing activities: workshops, internships and visits to companies, public bodies and institutions in the area. These field experiences make it possible to develop concrete operational skills and to come into direct contact with the world of work already during the course of study.
