The program is taught in English.
BIG is focused on political science, though embedded in an interdisciplinary framework.
The first part of the program is introductory and lays the interdisciplinary foundations through subjects such as mathematics, statistics, economics, political science and sociology;
The second part gives space to political science and economics. This specialization is the distinctive feature of the program and aims at the understanding of:
-political dynamics at national and international levels;
-how public policies are formulated, implemented and evaluated;
-the internal working of public institutions, with specific focus on the European Union;
-how laws are regulated at European and international levels;
-socio-political phenomena from a historical perspective.
Moreover, students are stimulated to develop problem-solving skills by mediating and negotiating different positions and points of view.
The third part of the program allows students to customize their study plan, according to their individual goals, by choosing from a selection of activities (courses to be passed in Italy or abroad, curricular internship and themed workshops on issues closely related to studies of political science and public policy).
The study plan also includes:
- a compulsory semester of study abroad in one of the Universities in partnership with Bocconi
