The Course at a Glance
The Master's Degree in Government, Administration and Politics has an interdisciplinary DNA and offers an integrated view of politics as an interaction between society and institutions, training people capable of analysing politics and managing and implementing public policies. In fact, this programme offers a unique combination of theoretical knowledge and concrete operational tools to face the challenges of governance and administration in an increasingly complex reality. A distinctive element is the practical, application-oriented approach to knowledge, thanks to workshops developed in collaboration with public institutions and companies. Students will learn how society formulates its questions and how politics processes them to produce policies, and will develop analytical and management skills.
