The Economics and Political Science (EPS) master's programme aims at providing its students with advanced and complete training in both economics and political science. Such training should be comparable to that offered by any leading international master's programme in each of the two disciplines separately taken.


Specifically, the EPS master's programme aims at forming professional economists and political scientists. EPS graduates will not only be endowed with high-level analytical and operational skills, but they will also be characterized by such an open and critical vision of economic, political and social issues, and such a cultural depth that could be hardly achieved by attending a programme centered on a single or a prevailing disciplinary field.


EPS students will be able to reach highly qualified theoretical and applied knowledge and skills in each of the following fields: mathematics, probability and statistics, with applications to economic, political and social sciences; econometrics; game theory; advanced microeconomics; advanced macroeconomics; economic policy; public economics; welfare economics and politics; comparative politics; theory of European integration; positive and normative political theory; social and political choice theory; theory of justice.
