The goal in creating

this program is to
contribute to
increasing the quality and value of
policy-makers, in particular by
giving them the quantitative tools
to develop and assess
policies. And to make
the world a better place.
Vincenzo Galasso
Program Director
Introducing International Politics

and Government
By any standard, Universit Bocconi is a leading school in its traditional areas of economics, management and law. This places us at
the crossroads of several subjects that contribute to government
policy-making, and we have now integrated this expertise into the
new multidisciplinary Bachelor program in International Politics
and Government.
The program concentrates on preparing students to work on all aspects of public policy-making. Courses in political theory, law, behavioral research and languages help them understand the context
within which a policy will be born; Bocconis longstanding reputation in management guarantees graduates the practical know-how
to implement it with competence and efficiency; and strong training
in quantitative economics and qualitative assessment provides for
policy evaluation at any moment and from any point of view.
Taught in English, the Bachelor of International Politics and Government takes a global approach that attracts globally-oriented
people. It all starts with bright students who are motivated to excel
in public service and drive change in our society in ways that promote ethical values, economic viability, international legitimacy
and political pragmatism.
Program Setup and Structure
Study Plan*
This new program can be described by three adjectives: international, with students and faculty who come from around the world;
exclusive, with a small class group composed of highly selected students only 60 students; and flexible, with one semester spent
studying abroad in a partner university and the option of doing an
internship.
1st year
Semester I
In the first two years, students will learn how to interpret the evolution of social, economic and political systems from an international perspective, and acquire a toolbox of soft and hard skills.
Semester II
Strong emphasis is placed on the key phases of a policys life cycle:

designing public policies which are both economically efficient
and politically sustainable
implementing public policies with an effective approach
evaluating public policies using modern quantitative and qualitative techniques
In the third year, students will gain international exposure by spending a semester abroad at one of our prestigious partner Universities.
A wide array of elective courses allows for a personalized study
path, and specialized workshops dig deeper into the core topics of
political science and public policy. Students can also choose to undertake an internship and build valuable labor market experience
in their areas of interest.
