This 1st cycle Degree Course, divided into three curricula, provides students with basic education for an up-to-date outline of principles and sources, tools and methods regulating contemporary State, institutions and society, through the diachronic and synchronic study of issues related to European and World globalisation and integration processes and to the role of Italy within the international and EU context.
In the framework of this course, students will find, in the "Political Science" curriculum, all those subject traditionally taught in Political Science Faculties, contributing at the education and at the basic competences of a political scientist.
This curriculum is, in fact, fairly structured, in order to stick accurately to the interdisciplinary orientations and specialisations; it includes subjects from the legal, historical economic, political and sociological profiles as well as two foreign languages chosen among the most diffused European Union ones.
The second curriculum is more focused on international relations, which will be studied in depth in their historical political, legal and socio-economic implications. Courses will be provided, namely, which, alongside with the traditional study of the most important foreign languages, will tackle themes related to the comparative functioning of institution and regulations and to the historical-political evolution of the Mediterranean area and its neighbouring continents, to the analysis of the principal juridical and theoretical models and the measures of economical policy and public safety which made possible the integration process.
An elective subject, practice and a final examination, enabling students to prove their command of a foreign language, will complete the curriculum.
The third curriculum studies in depth European issues and aims at providing students full command of the methodology of political, sociological, economic and quantitative research, as well as of comparative methodology enabling graduates to find easy, full and effective placement in public or private companies, with respect to the growing European harmonisation and integration.
For these purposes, and for better job opportunities, given the possibility of using the acquired competences in different EU Countries, this curriculum is not only interdisciplinary, but it also favours educational activities providing comparative institutional notions and international and EU perspectives.
The advanced knowledge of at least two EU languages, besides Italian, will also be tested.
In accordance with these specific educational objectives, the course will also provide for external activities such as practice periods and stages in National and multinational companies, and national or international agencies and public administrations.
