The Bachelor's Degree in Political Science (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.
