This 1st cycle Degree Course, organised in 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 the European and world globalisation and integration processes and to the role of Italy within the European Union and international 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 legal, 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 aims at an in-depth study of the European ambit, and will provide students with full command of the empirical method of political science, sociological, economical and quantitative research, as well as of the comparative method, enabling an easier, complete and efficient inclusion in public or private professional sectors stemming from the growing European harmonisation and integration. For these purposes and for a higher value of this qualification in the labour market, given also the possible use of the acquired competences in the various European Union countries, this curriculum, while granting the interdisciplinary character of education, will favour those educational activities providing for comparative institutional notions and international and European union perspectives. The advanced knowledge of at least to European Union languages will also be ascertained, namely the most diffused and functional ones, besides Italian. With respect to these specific educational objectives it will be possible to carry out external activities, such as practice and educational stages within national and multinational companies, public bodies and administrations, both at national and international level.
This Degree Course, with respect to the chosen curriculum, is directed to those wishing to start a career in political activities and in teaching in secondary schools; graduates form the "political science" curriculum will also be able to carry out professional activities within public and private companies, both at national and multinational level, nongovernmental and third sector organisations. The second curriculum (International Relations and Policies) addresses namely those who wish to enter the diplomatic and consular service or to work within companies and institutions, nongovernmental and third sector agencies, international public and private bodies working at international level or wishing to expand their activity in this field. The third curriculum (European Studies) is targeted namely to those who wish to acquire interdisciplinary competences useful to program and carry out complex operational strategies enabling them to work both within European Union offices, premises and institutions, and to enter the labour market as medium-high level professionals and consultants, capable to manage and master European union relations and transactions, and to work within private companies, organisations and offices, at national and multinational level, as well as within public national, supranational and international administrations, agencies, associations and organisations
It consists of the discussion of three synthetic papers written by the candidate, previously assigned by three different teachers of the course, belonging to different subject areas. During the discussion, students should also prove their knowledge of a foreign language.
