Strategic Studies and Security Policies:
interdisciplinary training for modern leaders in global change, taught in Italian.
The Master's Degree in Strategic Studies and Security Policies (Degree Class LM-62 in Political Science) is an innovative educational project whose teaching structure is based on high-profile interdisciplinary training, starting from the field of political science to focus on themes of security and risk.
The educational path in Strategic Studies and Security Policies as a whole aims to ensure that students concretely immerse themselves in the strategic dynamics of the current era and, at the same time, in crisis scenarios and the dynamics of security and its processes.
A characteristic of the faculty is the presence of professionals, sector experts, executives, and administrators who have gained operational experience in the field and, therefore, are able to combine theoretical knowledge with its practical application.
Among the numerous initiatives promoted by the University to enrich the educational offering of the degree course in Strategic Studies and Security Policies, the thematic blog Geohub undoubtedly stands out—an online space for in-depth analysis of international politics, managed by the students of the degree course.
The multidisciplinary training of the course allows master's graduates to develop the necessary skills to make their way in the world of work as specialists in political and social sciences, legal sciences, and economic sciences, in intermediate and senior-level positions in both the public and private sectors.
In particular, graduates in Strategic Studies and Security Policies can find employment in various professional fields:
The two Curricula, Strategic Studies and Security Policies (in Italian) and Global Affairs and International Relations (in English), mirror each other as they provide the same core of compulsory subjects delivered in their respective languages, with the peculiarity that the English version of the course presents an international vocation of the training provided.
In both Curricula, alongside the study of traditional subjects, there is the need to deepen specific knowledge, such as that concerning the structure and functioning of international organizations, developments in international politics and strategic analysis, and international economic dynamics.
