Teaching

Political Sciences and International Relations (L-36)

The Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and International Relations (L-36) aims to train professionals capable of managing particularly complex and globalized political-institutional, economic, social and cultural contexts.

The learning pathway provides the interdisciplinarity typical of the graduate class and teaching methodologies combining solid theoretical training and an experiential perspective. It also enables mastery in those soft skills (team work, problem solving, leadership, communication skills, etc.) that are increasingly important in the labour market.

The teaching approach, inspired by the principle of learning by doing, is enriched by moments of in-depth study - seminars, workshops, laboratories - organized by experts in the field (representatives of institutions, journalists, data strategists, analysts, etc.), as well as internships and placements at institutions, organizations and companies.

Career opportunities

The students who graduated in Political sciences and international relations may aspire for an occupation at:

  • national, European and international bodies and institution

  • international organizations

  • local and national public administrations

  • political parties, trade unions, representative organizations (lobbying, public affairs, institutional relations)

  • national and international NGO

  • profit-oriented companies and third-sector associations/foundations

  • news media and communication agencies

  • charities

  • think tanks and research institutes

Modality of attendance

The learning activities are presential, however students meeting certain requirements can also participate in live streaming, wherever they are, interacting live with the classroom.


LEARNING PATHWAYS

Political and Social Science 

 

The Political and Social Science learning pathway adopts a bottom-up logic, and thus looks at the complex web of relationships between society, politics and institutions by taking the perspective of the participating citizen. Teaching activities have a strong interdisciplinary imprint: they draw on the traditional fields of political-history, political science, sociology, economics-statistics, and law-developed with a marked focus on the processes of political participation-international economic dynamics, and the social effects of public policies.

International politics and government

The learning pathway International politics and government, delivered in English language, adopts a top-down logic and therefore looks at transformations in international relations systems by taking the perspective of the political-institutional actors who govern them. Teaching activities have a strong interdisciplinary imprint: they draw on the traditional fields of history-politics, political science, sociology, economics-statistics, law-developed with a marked focus on the management of public organizations, image promotion strategies, and crisis management.

In order to be admitted to the Degree Course, it is necessary to hold an upper secondary school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad, recognized as suitable by current regulations.

At the same time, the students must possess adequate knowledge of general culture and logic-mathematics, as well as text comprehension skills.

Furthermore, required knowledge and language skills consistent with the language of delivery of the Course of Study and/or individual curriculum.
The verification of the possession of the knowledge required for access is done by means of an appropriate test. 

In case the aforementioned test gives a negative result, the students will have to fulfill the following additional educational obligations (OFA):

  • Taking the Storia contemporanea exam for the Scienze Politiche e sociali learning pathway, of Contemporary History for the International Politics and Government learning pathway, in the case of a negative assessment of general culture/text comprehension knowledge.

  • Compulsory attendance of a remedial course delivered online in the case of a negative outcome of the language proficiency assessment.

Any OFAs must be fulfilled within the first year of the course.

The Course of Study supports the students through 4 different types of tutoring:

  1. Orientation and soft skill-aimed tutoring, carried out by the Educational Coordinator, who assists the students in the stages of orientation, insertion into university life, monitoring of the learning pathway and motivation (always having as a reference the planned results), support in the completion of bureaucratic procedures, the latter in collaboration with the Student Administration Office;

  2. international orientation tutoring, carried out by the International office, which offers personalized assistance to both international students enrolled in the Course of Study and Erasmus students;

  3. educational tutoring, entrusted to teaching support figures (teaching assistants, doctoral students, holders of supplementary teaching contracts, etc.), who support the students with supplementary teaching activities related to specific teachings;

  4. specialized tutoring, carried out by the Inclusion Education Coordinator, for students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (DSA) and special educational needs (BES), aimed at reducing the obstacles that could prevent their full inclusion in the university environment.

The workshop activities are designed as moments of learning by doing, through which the students will acquire and/or refine soft skills (team work, problem solving, leadership, communication skills, etc.), increasingly fundamental in the labour maket. Furthermore, workshops represent opportunities for in-depth experiential learning in direct contact with professionals in the field.

The Course of Study reserves special credits for orientation training internships, to be carried out within the University, as well as internships and apprenticeships at institutions, agencies, organizations and foundations, enterprises, such as: Alfa Group, AMKA ODV, Associazione Museo Verde, Circolo Studi Diplomatici, Eastwest European Institute, Federazione Italiana Diritti Umani – FIDU, GEM Elettronica s.r.l., Leonardo Spa, Lucana Sistemi s.r.l., NuoveReti, PwC, Coopculture
