A multidisciplinary approach to understand the economic and political phenomena

The Master in Economics and International Politics (Master in Economia e Politiche Internazionali) offers a wide range of scientific tools and specific skills, which are essential for understanding the economic and political phenomena linked to globalisation and the functioning of public and international institutions.
The program covers the disciplinary areas of economics, law and institutions, and international politics. 
MEPIN also provides the multidisciplinary and managerial knowledge necessary to address issues such as sustainable development, globalisation of markets, population ageing, migratory phenomena and, more generally, forms of cooperation between public authorities and private economic operators aimed at achieving a common objective, such as the provision of a service or the development and management of a project.
