MSc in Politics and Policy Analysis

This MSc provides an advanced education in Political Science and public policy analysis, teaching students the complex political, economic and social dynamics of the modern world, how national and international institutions deal with them and how to act in such contexts. Students learn methods of analysis and study of both public policies and the institutions which lead the decision-making process. The program provides a background in comparative politics and international relations, integrated with knowledge of the role of laws and of the evolution of population dynamics in political contexts. Advanced quantitative skills in theoretical and empirical methods are acquired, applied to evaluating public policies, the public sector, the policy decision-making process and political dynamics. Students develop teamwork, presentation and critical thinking skills. Workshops foster the understanding of political and social problems from different perspectives and teaching methods support interaction between faculty and students and among students.
