Master in Politikwissenschaft

Goals

The objectives of the program are the integrated acquisition of explanatory models and the ability to make rigorous use of them in political science.

The modalities with thesis and with supervised work aim at the capacity to carry out a systematic observation starting from recognized modes: the description, the discussion of concepts, the verification of a simple hypothesis and the autonomous use of the instruments acquired in the 1st cycle. They correspond to the first stage of learning the field study. The modality with internship in Public and International Affairs aims to give students a training oriented towards the job market, that is to say towards the acquisition of skills valued in employment.
