Political Science and Government ( Classe LM-62)-Enrolled from 2020/21 Academic Year
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.

Admission assessment
The student is required to submit an online application for enrolment on the degree programme as set forth by the university. The student must also attach a transcript of records specifying the subject area (SSD), grade, and number of credits earned for each exam.
A special board formed by the Chair of the Academic Board, academic tutors in charge of admissions and transfer credits, assisted by the Tutoring Service, will assess the applications submitted by candidates as well as their transcript records as required by admission.
The Tutoring Service will notify the candidate of the assessment outcome (i.e. admission with or without learning requirements, and transfer credits, if any) by email to the address stated in the application form. The notice will also specify the dates of admission interviews, which take place each year in September and December, as well as other information.
If, following this assessment, the student is not deemed to meet the admission requirements, they will have to fulfil additional learning requirements through the admission interview. The board will assess the candidate's basic knowledge of the subjects in which the gaps were found and provide students with the tools needed to successfully pass the exams envisaged by the GOV programme. The assessment will focus on the following disciplines: public law for the legal macro area, political science for the socio-political macro area, and economic history for the economic macro area.
If, during the interview, the admissions board finds that the candidate has not filled their gaps, they reserve the right to reconsider the applicant's admission.
The Tutoring Service will provide a list of recommended texts for the remedial assessment in the first e-mail relating to the assessment of admission requirements. The list will also be published on the degree programme website (https://gov.cdl.unimi.it/it/iscriversi). Alternatively, the student may take single exams in the subjects in which any gaps have been identified.
As part of the admission process, candidates may be awarded transfer credits for previous exams in some limited cases (off-plan exams in their Bachelor's programme, exams taken as single exams before enrolling in this programme, exams taken within previous Master's degree or single-cycle degree programmes, which were not counted toward admission requirements) for up to 40 credits. Candidates with over 33 credits will be admitted directly to the second year of the programme. Students may also apply for transfer credits to the Student Registrar after being admitted to the degree programme.
Students admitted to the second year must, in any case, take the exams in compliance with the academic calendar (i.e. at the end of the courses in the respective trimesters) whether these are first or second-year courses.
Students who do not meet the admission requirements and students who claim transfer credits for previous exams will be required to sit the admission interviews as scheduled in September or December. The interview dates are listed below, and will be posted to the degree programme website, institutional social accounts, as well as sent to applicants via e-mail.
For the 2022-2023 academic year, admission interviews will take place at 2.30 pm on 13 September 2022 (room 10) and at 2.30 pm on 12 December 2022 (room TBC) at the Faculty of Political, Economic and Social Sciences, Via Conservatorio 7, Milan, Italy.

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.
Attendance is strongly recommended.
