The degree course in Management and Policies of Public Administrations is built on the basis of the best European and international experiences, and aims to provide students with the conceptual, methodological and managerial tools needed to understand and improve the functioning of organisations, including private ones, that perform public functions and services.

The course of study enables effective learning of political, social, legal, statistical, economic and organisational skills: the interdisciplinary nature of the training is motivated by the aim of training professionals capable of effectively interpreting change and organisational innovation in public administrations, developing an approach to problems of public administration and public administration. public administrations, developing an approach to problems capable of integrating different scientific perspectives. This type of training also makes it possible to understand the logic of administrative action, so that it achieves the objectives of economy, effectiveness and efficiency, and also implements the evaluation and control of the public resources employed.

These skills are fundamental both for those who work within public organisations (administrators and officials) and for those who interact with them from the outside: citizens, businesses, civic or economic interest organisations. In addition, and with particular reference to public administrations operating in the Milan and Lombardy context, the degree course pays attention both to the health sector and to the issue of administrative simplification aimed at fostering the economic initiative of private operators.

The characteristic and distinctive elements of the degree programme are as follows - integrate multiple and different managerial skills (economic, legal, political, sociological, statistical) acquiring a markedly interdisciplinary preparation and approach to the issues specific to public administrations: among them, in particular, performance improvement, digital governance, and administrative transparency; - to know and learn the processes and rules of operation of public administrations, and of private entities entrusted with the exercise of public utility functions and services, also in their interaction with the political institutions belonging to the various territorial levels of government (Municipalities, Provinces and Metropolitan Cities, Regions and Central State Administrations); - analysing and understanding the concrete needs of businesses and citizens, also by putting the evidence produced by the behavioural sciences (psychology of organisations and decision-making) at the service of this objective - learning and reasoning by projects and objectives, in order to evaluate the products, results and impact of public policies and actions; - recognising and solving malfunctioning mechanisms in bureaucratic organisations, using both traditional and the most recent scientific contributions devoted to the dynamics of the functioning of public administrations; - learn the use and implementation of the tools that technological innovation makes available for organisational change and communication with users. The degree course aims to decline theoretical knowledge in relation to the following educational objectives: - close attention to both the knowledge taught and learned by students and the actual skills that students and graduates are concretely able to exercise; - response to the specific learning demands coming from students, whether they are new graduates, administrators and employees of public administrations, or private economic operators dealing with the same administrations, through public-private partnership tools; - in-depth study of supranational dynamics, which today place Italian public administrations in constant contact with European institutions and administrations.
