Master programme
LM-63 R - Scienze delle pubbliche amministrazioni
The master's degree program in Administration and Public Policy aims to provide advanced preparation in public management and policy analysis, with a strongly interdisciplinary character, to train high and mid-level officials and specialists with:
- a realistic understanding of the logics of functioning-or malfunctioning-of local, national, and supranational public organizations
- the ability to manage human, financial, technological resources and regulatory constraints in complex organizational contexts
- full mastery of methods for the design, implementation and evaluation of policies and services
- a thorough understanding of the standards used in international comparisons
The teachings of the degree program ensure advanced knowledge and skills in the fields of economic-management, political-social, mathematical-statistical and legal disciplines, aimed at the organization and management of public administration, as well as, as mentioned above, the understanding of its operating mechanisms, in compliance with the criteria of effectiveness, efficiency and economy and within the framework of economic, social and environmental sustainability. The approach of the various teachings is characterized by the use of comparative perspective and the most up-to-date international literature.
Using the disciplinary approaches learned in the teachings of the degree program, graduates in Public Administration and Public Policy are able to design, manage and evaluate projects of considerable magnitude and complexity, both working within public administrations and working within organizations (businesses, consulting firms, associations and nonprofit entities) that contribute to the design and implementation of public policies and interventions.
The training course (see further section "Course Structure" below) includes a part of common teachings and three curricular insights.
A first in-depth (e.Government curriculum) is intended to train professionals capable of evaluating the products and results of administrations and pursuing effective expansion of e-government and digital administration.
A second in-depth study (Local Government curriculum) is intended to train professionals capable of designing, and analyzing and evaluating projects with strong territorial roots, integrating resources and constraints from different institutions, in the perspective of "multilevel governance."
A third in-depth study (Rule of law and organized crime curriculum) is intended to train professionals and practitioners capable of designing and analyzing programs and paths of legality and transparency in public administrations, in the presence of the risks of infiltration by criminal organizations and the illicit behavior of public agents.
In addition to the free-choice teachings, further training activities aimed at acquiring additional language skills, computer and telematics skills, relational skills, or in any case useful for entering the world of work and facilitating professional choices complete the training path. These activities are aimed at verifying the concrete applicability of the concepts and methods learned in the various teachings.
In the final paper, the student's ability to comprehensively illustrate the debate in the international literature, to formulate a clear, coherent and sustainable research design and to carry it out through the writing of a text of ample size and irreproachable on a formal level is ascertained.

Administration and Public Policy (APP) is designed to train civil servants and specialists capable of assuming high responsibilities and coordinating projects of significant complexity:
- in all branches of public administration;
- in service enterprises and private enterprises in a more general sense;
- in non-profit organisations;
- in public control and auditing authorities;
- in interest representation organisations;
- in consultancy firms.
In particular, APP is preparing to recruit the following professional profiles:
- Specialists and high and medium-high level functionaries/experts in management and control activities in public administration and in private and non-profit organisations working with public ones
- Officers and specialists in the fields of the acquisition of goods and services in the public sector (and thus in public resource accounting and budgeting)
- Officers and specialists in the field of human resources and thus in work organisation, personnel management and development, with particular reference to (but not limited to) the public and non-profit sectors;
- Officers and specialists in the management of complex programmes and projects
All these profiles include those at the highest level of public administrations, following the selection procedures envisaged for access to these positions.
The professions for which the APP degree course prepares perform the functions assigned to them, implementing with autonomy and their own responsibilities the projects, administrative activities and procedures entrusted to them and coordinating with the political-administrative bodies. They also manage the human and instrumental resources entrusted to them, being accountable for the results achieved. They ensure the correct application of the legal, national and supranational rules, both with regard to the population concerned and within the administrations and bodies to which they belong, also in relation to public security activities and the guarantee of legality and transparency.
To these ends, the officers, and the specialists with a Master's degree in APP have the necessary skills to
- address, in full autonomy and responsibility, public issues, appreciating their socio-political, economic-business and legal profiles and having a full understanding of the contexts in which public interventions take place
- analysing and addressing managerial and administrative problems, grasping the interactions between them and with the political-administrative system;
- finding the appropriate resources for public interventions and targeting them to achieve the planned objectives.
