Why in Parma?
The course is multidisciplinary and international in character. The subjects taught (history, political science, law, economics and sociology, as well as English and French) will reinforce and enhance the knowledge and understanding acquired during the three-year course, enabling students to apply it in an original and inter-disciplinary manner. In order to create an additional language learning opportunity, six compulsory subjects are taught entirely in English. The training course, which combines lectures with interaction activities, is characterised by a high degree of student focus, as demonstrated by the satisfaction declared by students in relation to the course's teaching activities. Numerous seminars and meetings with delegates from the business, non-profit and professional worlds, as well as internships (in companies, professional firms, non-governmental organisations, national and international institutions), will facilitate entry into the working world.
The course of study is within the Department of Law, Political and International Studies - selected by the MUR (Ministry of University and Research) among the Departments of Excellence for the five-year period 2023-2027.
