Course overview

The Master's Degree Programme aims to train high-level professionals who, merging theoretical and technical skills acquired during the course, can fit into different contexts, starting with public administrations (local, regional, national, and international) and also in the private social work sector as well as not-for-profit and for-profit organisations that operate in public interest. These are professional figures destined to promote and accompany the processes of innovation and renewal needed to respond to the social and economic changes of contemporary society. Through a wealth of knowledge and expertise in economics and business, statistics and IT, law, organisation, sociology, and a wide range of soft skills acquired through highly innovative teaching featuring the engagement and interaction of different external bodies, Master’s graduates will be able to tackle the main innovative challenges (de-bureaucratization, digitisation, sustainability) that public organisations are facing and will face in the foreseeable future, thus being a necessary asset in such a complex society.

Occupational profiles

Thanks to the high level of interdisciplinarity of the course, Master’s graduates are able to conduct independently tasks and professional activities that enable them to work within all the institutions of public administration in its broadest sense, supervisory and control bodies and all public and private enterprises that work for public administrations. Graduates will be able to interact with both the managers and technicians of the various areas of these entities (legal, quantitative, managerial), as well as with strategic figures and policy makers. They can undertake tasks of coordination and can also take on professional roles in senior management, such as manager and executive, of such organisations.
While not involving any particular specialisation, the course content is flexible, allowing students to adopt different pathways, choosing more in-depth study in each of the four areas of the course (quantitative studies, economics/business, law and sociology/organisation).

Attendance

Open

Examination assessment and graduation

Educational activities include classroom teaching, workshops and internships in order to acquire wide-ranging skills that can be readily transferable into the work world.
Knowledge gained by the students will be assessed through written and oral exams during their course of study.
The final exam consists of writing a thesis, which must possess the characteristics of originality, exhaustive documentation and scientific investigation and which will be discussed with a committee of university professors and experts.
