Introduction
The Master's degree in International Relations is a highly qualified 2nd cycle degree program that aims at providing students with a number of key skills and competencies to compete in the international labor market, both private and public.
Students will get a broad and multidisciplinary view of the most recent economic and political phenomena, as well as an in-depth insight into the key differences that mark Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe as different regions of the world.
In particular, the program aims to provide sound advanced training, extending and strengthening students' knowledge of the approach of international relations to historical, political, economic, and palynological subject areas. Teaching methods include seminars, written assignments, oral presentations, the study of complex texts, the use of case studies, and simulations. These activities allow students to develop and apply their own personal and original approaches to research and study. The interdisciplinary approach and in-depth study of different geopolitical areas help to broaden students' knowledge and skills, allowing them to develop methodological and analytical skills for problem-solving in the working contexts graduates will operate in.
Advanced and profound knowledge of historical, legal, economic, and political themes provide graduates with the flexible, professional profile demanded by the external stakeholders consulted. Graduates will be able to organize and manage projects, apply their knowledge and skills to analyze and solve new problems and develop the abilities, which combined with skills acquired, are useful in negotiation and conflict mediation situations.
Language skills are particularly important professional tools: English language proficiency is required to level B2.
