The master's degree program in Political and Government Sciences (GOV) aims to provide an in-depth knowledge of the rules and dynamics underneath the functioning of legal and political institutions by developing the critical tools necessary to analyse and evaluate legislative and governmental actions.
The educational plan offered is interdisciplinary.
Alongside the analysis of political institutions from a national and global perspective, the course will give an opportunity to deepen knowledge of specific geographic areas - of particular interest and relevance - and to examine the issue of fundamental rights.
A particular focus is reserved to the new forms of fundamental human rights that are consequence of the progress of biotechnology (bio-ethics and bio-law issues), in geographical projections other than the Euro-Atlantic ones.
The aim is to introduce into the labour market graduates with advanced knowledge in the political, legal and economic fields, with a focus on the dynamics of complex societies in a globalized context and on the historical evolution of the forms of political and interests representations.
Professional opportunities:
1. In the private sector: private and tertiary sector companies, associations, trade unions, press and publishing;
2. In the public sector: public administrations at local, regional, national and supranational level, including those accessed through an open competition; companies with public service management duties; consulting companies; representative political and governmental institutions.
In addition, graduates in Political and Government Sciences (GOV) will be also able to continue their education with Masters or Research Doctorates (PhD) both in Italy and abroad.

e una preparazione personale adeguata, valutata sulla base della votazione conseguita negli esami nei settori scientifico disciplinari indicati.

Modalità di verifica delle conoscenze e della preparazione personale.

Lo studente è tenuto a presentare domanda d'iscrizione online al corso di laurea secondo le procedure previste dall'Ateneo, allegando il piano di studi contenente l'elenco degli esami sostenuti nella precedente carriera universitaria con l?indicazione per ciascuno di essi del settore scientifico-disciplinare, del voto ottenuto e del numero di crediti acquisiti.
A seguito della presentazione della domanda di ammissione, un?apposita Commissione formata dal Presidente del Collegio Didattico e dai Docenti Tutor responsabili per le ammissioni e il riconoscimento crediti, coadiuvata dal Servizio tutoraggio, procederà alla verifica del possesso dei requisiti di ammissione attraverso la valutazione del piano di studi presentato dallo studente.
Il Servizio tutoraggio comunicherà all'indirizzo e-mail indicato dal candidato nella domanda di ammissione l'esito della valutazione (ammissione con o senza recuperi ed eventuali convalide), le date dei colloqui di ammissione (che si svolgono a settembre e a dicembre di ogni anno) e altre informazioni opportune.
Qualora, a seguito della valutazione del piano di studi, lo studente non risultasse in possesso dei requisiti di ammissione, dovrà sostenere un recupero in occasione del colloquio di ammissione. Tale recupero consisterà in una verifica delle conoscenze di base delle materie nelle quali sono state riscontrate le lacune, anche al fine di fornire agli studenti gli strumenti per affrontare al meglio gli esami previsti dal piano di studi di GOV. Il recupero verterà sulle seguenti discipline: Diritto pubblico per il macro-settore giuridico; Scienza politica per il macro-settore socio-politologico e Storia economica per il macro-settore economico.
Se in sede di colloquio la Commissione per le ammissioni dovesse riscontrare che il candidato non ha colmato le lacune, si riserverà di valutarne l'ammissione.
I testi consigliati per il recupero disciplinare saranno indicati dal Servizio di Tutoraggio nella prima e-mail relativa alla valutazione dei requisiti d'accesso e saranno pubblicati anche sul sito del corso di laurea (https://gov.cdl.unimi.it/it/iscriversi). In alternativa, lo studente potrà sostenere esami singoli nelle materie nelle quali sono state individuate delle lacune.

Nell'ambito dei procedimenti di ammissione è possibile, inoltre, ottenere la convalida di esami della precedente carriera universitaria in alcuni casi circoscritti (esami svolti fuori piano di studi nel percorso didattico della triennale, esami sostenuti come esami singoli prima dell'iscrizione al corso di laurea, esami di precedenti lauree magistrali o a ciclo unico che non sono stati computati ai fini dei requisiti di ammissione), fino a un massimo di 40 cfu. Oltre i 33 cfu si verrà ammessi direttamente al secondo anno di corso. Sarà possibile ottenere la convalida degli esami anche in un momento successivo all'ammissione al corso di laurea, presentando apposita istanza in Segreteria studenti.
Gli studenti ammessi al secondo anno devono comunque sostenere gli esami nel rispetto del calendario didattico, ovvero al termine dell'erogazione dei corsi nei rispettivi trimestri, sia che siano insegnamenti del primo anno sia che siano insegnamenti del secondo anno.

Gli studenti che non saranno in possesso dei requisiti per l'ammissione e gli studenti che richiederanno la convalida di esami dalla precedente carriera universitaria saranno tenuti a presentarsi ai colloqui di ammissione nelle date fissate a settembre o dicembre, di seguito indicate, che saranno anche pubblicate sul sito del corso di laurea magistrale, sulle pagine social e comunicate via email.
Per l'a.a. 2021-2022 i colloqui d'ammissione si svolgeranno il 13 settembre 2021 e il 13 dicembre 2021 alle ore 14,30 in Aula 4, presso la sede della Facoltà di Scienze politiche, economiche e sociali, in Via Conservatorio, 7 Milano Italia.

There are about twenty Erasmus exchange agreements available for the Master program in "Political Science and Government"(the full list can be found at https://www.unimi.it/en/node/13034/) but new agreements are being signed within the Department of International, legal and historical-political Studies, many of which will also apply to our Master program. The geographical areas where are located the partner universities are the Mediterranean Europe (France, Spain, Portugal), the Central and Eastern Europe (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia) but also the German area (Germany) and Turkey. The subjects that can be studied abroad are mainly legal and political, followed by the historical ones. It must be therefore considered that the means of recognition of the subjects are quite elastic, given the lack of a perfect coincidence between the courses of study in Europe.In this regard there is the chance to use the credits for elective activities and also those available for the preparation of the doctoral thesis (up to 21 credits). The ability to conduct research abroad for the purpose of writing the thesis is particularly encouraged, especially for a master degree. However, it is recommended to choose the appropriate area of research before departure, to be agreed with a teacher of the Master programs and possibly identifying a reference professor at the foreign University. The methods of recognition of study abroad require a preliminary learning agreement with the Erasmus delegate for the Department and the possible adjustment once in place. The recognition of credits obtained at the partner University in Italy is closely linked to these forms and the consent of the Erasmus delegate.
La frequenza è fortemente consigliata.
