The Master's Degree Program in Economic Development and International Relations (SERI) is designed for students interested in a multidisciplinary education in the fields of economics, law, political science, and history, essential for analyzing and interpreting global phenomena. The multidisciplinary approach of the program provides a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the complex and dynamic international reality, drawing on the long-standing tradition of international studies at the University of Pavia.

The main disciplines contributing to the education of SERI graduates (economics, political and social sciences, law, history, and languages) are fundamental for understanding the various dynamics that interact within the international system. They offer a preparation based on different methodological approaches through which globalization and the transformation of international structures are studied and interpreted.

Among the topics to which SERI pays particular attention are international cooperation and development economics, integration processes and mechanisms in different regions of the world, relations between industrialized and emerging countries, the role of international organizations, and the international politics of various national and multilateral actors.

The SERI curriculum stipulates that about half of the courses are taught in English, preparing students to communicate effectively in an international context. Starting from the academic year 2024/2025, a Double Degree program will be launched in collaboration with the University of Tirana, allowing selected students to spend the second year of the degree program in Albania and obtain a double degree. The curriculum is focused on the specificities of the Balkan context, providing a practical approach to the studies of international economics and politics, international organizations, and economic development and growth.
