The aim of the study programme is to provide a set of knowledge (sociological, political, juridical, anthropological, economic, historical and linguistic) and statistic-methodological tools in order to develop the ability to analyze the phenomena of global interdependency and to design/implement policies for social development at both international and local level (national and sub-national). The training provided is multidisciplinary, but it pays particular attention to the social and political aspects of globalization and their consequences, which are sometimes considered to be of lesser importance than economic and financial phenomena.
The aim is to provide graduates with a versatile and multidisciplinary training and equip them with the capacity for autonomous judgment, the ability to understand and analyze the processes of globalization in its various social, political, juridical, economic and cultural aspects and the motivation to work in the fields of international developments and social policies
The aim is to introduce graduates into the labor market with a versatile training and independent judgment, able to understand and analyze the processes of globalization under the various social, political, economic and cultural aspects, motivated to work in the fields of international development and social policies. The aim of the Degree in Social Sciences for Globalization is therefore to train qualified professionals capable of carrying out independently diagnostic and intervention tasks within strategies outlined by higher-level managers in complex organizational public and private contexts.
The professional opportunities concern:
1. companies operating abroad or making use of foreign personnel and needing to develop analyses of the area of settlement and related intervention programs for the main stakeholders. Specifically, personnel directorates, internal and external relations are the most congenial areas;
2. local and international institutions working in support of groups or populations in need of assistance both at home and abroad. Specifically, the study offices and project groups are the most congenial areas;
3. non-governmental organizations, Community bodies and associations requiring expertise in dealing with complex and potentially conflicting situations relating to multi-ethnic and intercultural relations, cooperation support, international aid projects, both private and public, and in general trade between rich and poor countries;
4. the local public sector, third sector organizations, educational and research institutions and trade union and professional organizations which contribute to the governance of local economic and social policies;
5. companies and associations that organize and manage initiatives for fair consumption, sustainable development, permanent or temporary settlement projects aimed at local development.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
Per essere ammessi al corso di laurea in Scienze sociali per la globalizzazione occorre, ai sensi dell'art. 6, comma 1, DM 270 2004, essere in possesso di un diploma di scuola secondaria superiore quinquennale o di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero, riconosciuto idoneo. È inoltre necessario possedere un'adeguata preparazione iniziale. Per frequentare proficuamente il corso di laurea è, infatti, necessario avere acquisito conoscenze di base relative all?area linguistico-espressiva e alle capacità logiche e matematiche. Inoltre, lo studente dovrà maturare durante il corso di studi una conoscenza della lingua inglese di livello B2 (o superiore) del Quadro europeo di riferimento.

Al fine di garantire livelli formativi di qualità in rapporto alla disponibilità di risorse, ai sensi dell'art. 2 della legge 264/1999, il Corso di laurea sarà ad accesso programmato con un numero di studenti pari a 170 (a questo numero va aggiunto il contingente riservato a studenti extra-comunitari con residenza all'estero).

Per accedere al corso è obbligatorio sostenere il TOLC-E, il Test Online organizzato dal CISIA, (Consorzio Interuniversitario Sistemi Integrati per l'Accesso).
La verifica delle conoscenze disciplinari necessarie per la frequenza del corso di laurea avviene con la stessa prova finalizzata alla selezione degli studenti ammessi. Le conoscenze disciplinari di accesso si intendono positivamente verificate se nelle tre aree del TOLC-E sono raggiunti i punteggi indicati nel bando di selezione.
Saranno attivate due selezioni per l'ammissione al corso: la prima selezione (primaverile) si terrà per 70 posti, la seconda selezione (estiva) per i restanti 100 e gli eventuali posti residui non coperti nella selezione primaverile;
Agli studenti ammessi con un punteggio inferiore in una o più delle tre aree, sono assegnati obblighi formativi aggiuntivi. Tali obblighi formativi consistono nella frequenza di corsi o laboratori, anche nella modalità on-line, ovvero nella consultazione di materiali di studio integrativi e devono essere soddisfatti e verificati entro il primo anno di corso. Le modalità di soddisfazione di questi obblighi formativi aggiuntivi sono specificate sul portale di Ateneo nell'area Studiare della Facoltà di Scienze politiche, economiche e sociali.
Qualora lo studente non assolva gli obblighi entro il predetto termine, il successivo anno accademico non potrà sostenere gli esami degli anni successivi al primo.

OFA Lingua inglese

Per poter sostenere l'esame di lingua inglese previsto dal piano di studio è richiesta la conoscenza della lingua inglese di livello B2 del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per le lingue (QCER). Tale livello può essere attestato nei seguenti modi:
- tramite l'invio di una certificazione linguistica conseguita non oltre i 3 anni antecedenti la data di presentazione della stessa, di livello B2 o superiore (per la lista delle certificazioni linguistiche riconosciute dall'Ateneo si rimanda al sito: https://www.unimi.it/it/studiare/competenze-linguistiche/placement-test-test-di-ingresso-e-corsi-di-inglese). La certificazione deve essere caricata al momento dell'immatricolazione, o, successivamente, sul portale https://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue;
- tramite Placement Test, erogato da SLAM esclusivamente durante il I anno, da ottobre a dicembre. In caso di non superamento del test, sarà necessario seguire i corsi erogati da SLAM.
Il Placement Test è obbligatorio per tutti gli studenti che non sono in possesso di una certificazione valida.
Coloro che non sosterranno il Placement Test entro dicembre oppure non supereranno il test finale del corso entro 6 tentativi, dovranno conseguire una certificazione a pagamento entro l'annualità in cui è previsto l'esame di lingua.
According to the formative aims of the degree in Social Sciences for Globalization, international mobility is strongly encouraged. Students can refer to the tutor to the Erasmus Program for information on calls, the definition of educational plans of study in foreign universities, the modalities for the recognition of credits, and any other issue concerning the opportunity to study abroad.

Detailed information regarding the Erasmus+ and the Placement calls are available at the website of the Degree Program in Social Sciences for Globalization: https://glo.cdl.unimi.it

Students enrolled in the Degree Program in Social Sciences for Globalization will make a stay abroad under the Erasmus+ Program that offers the opportunity to live an experience of study abroad (attending courses, taking exams, preparing their final dissertation, doing research) gaining acceptance in the academic career of the training activities undertaken.

Erasmus+ also provides mobility for Placement, that is the opportunity to have an internship abroad, in enterprises or other organizations.

The Erasmus+ Program assures: a) the possibility of a mobility experience abroad up to a total of 12 months (mobility for study and/or placement); b) the opening of mobility for placements to students recent graduates (within 12 months of graduation).
The Degree Program GLO currently provides the opportunity to take courses in sociological, political, historical, anthropological, economic and international law disciplines in German, Danish, Spanish, French, and Portuguese universities.
La frequenza è fortemente consigliata.
