A curriculum rooted in real-world experience

Our Global Political Science programme bridges the gap between theory and practice. Students will explore key subjects such as international law, diplomacy, global economics, political theory, and public policy. What makes our programme unique is the experiential learning approach, where we take the classroom beyond traditional lectures into the real world of politics and international affairs.

Studying in Rome opens doors to unique internship opportunities with governmental agencies, international organisations, NGOs, and think tanks. As part of our programme, students have access to networking events, guest lectures, and hands-on projects that prepare them for careers in diplomacy, international law, public policy, journalism, and beyond.
