The Master's Degree in Government, Administration, and Territory (GATe) is designed for individuals interested in the analytical, regulatory, and empirical challenges associated with public policies. It places particular emphasis on public administration within the multi-level governance system and institutions dealing with health and territory. The program equips students with the skills necessary to engage effectively with institutional frameworks at various levels of government (European Union, State, Regions, Local Authorities), ensuring optimal preparation for professional roles in public administration at local, national, and European levels.

Delivered predominantly through distance learning, the GATe program provides specialized knowledge regarding the structure and functioning of public institutions from a multi-level perspective. It covers the processes of policy production, implementation, and evaluation, focusing on both the organizational and decision-making dimensions of administrations, as well as their interactions with private actors, with particular attention to digital transformation.

The program offers a multidisciplinary education, incorporating courses in law, economics and management, political science, sociology, statistics, and information technology. Students will learn to integrate theoretical and methodological tools from these disciplines to understand and manage the changes occurring within public organizations and the formation of public policies. This capability is further developed through laboratory activities that allow students to apply their knowledge to problem-solving scenarios.
