What it is

A transdisciplinary social science degree with a strong methodological stamp, paying attention to ethics and logical reasoning. The first two years are common, covering typical subjects such as economics, politics, philosophy, law, statistics and mathematics, and in the third year you orient yourself towards one of three specialised tracks. Graduates are prepared for junior and consulting positions in public and private organisations, NGOs and international organisations, or for a wide range of master's programmes in Italy and abroad.

What you need

CEnT-S test. EU call 9 March–9 April 2027.
