L-37 R - Scienze sociali per la cooperazione, lo sviluppo e la pace
In recent decades, a series of economic, social, political and cultural processes have taken place, and have appeared in all their evidence, that have changed, and continue to change, both international society as a whole and individual national societies, processes whose hallmark is growing interdependence on a planetary scale. These phenomena are summarised by the term 'globalisation'. These phenomena, however, are often poorly and poorly understood in terms of their real characteristics and their actual effects, giving rise to distorted and one-sided interpretations and inadequate interventions in terms of public policies. Faced with the complexity of these changes and the incisiveness of their consequences, it therefore appears useful to have graduates who are able to interpret the phenomena of global interdependence and their implications in a rigorous and non-ideological manner.
Mastery - albeit at a basic level proper to the three-year degree - of the conceptual and technical-methodological tools for understanding the phenomena of global interdependence appears today as an indispensable requirement in every social context.
The degree course in Social Sciences for Globalisation intends to respond to the above-mentioned training requirements by providing students with an interdisciplinary knowledge base (sociological, anthropological, political, legal, economic, linguistic) and the related statistical-methodological tools, aimed at training them in the ability to analyse globalisation phenomena and to promote economic and social policies, both at global and local level. The planned training places particular emphasis on the social and political aspects of globalisation processes, assigning to these disciplinary areas an adequate number of credits to master the most salient concepts and themes.
The aim is therefore to bring into the labour market graduates with a versatile and multi-purpose education, endowed with autonomous judgement skills, able to understand and analyse globalisation processes under their various social, economic, political and cultural aspects and motivated to work in the fields of international development and social policies. The degree in ?Social Sciences for Globalisation? therefore aims to train qualified professionals capable of independently carrying out diagnostic and intervention tasks within strategies outlined by higher-level managers in complex organisational contexts, both public and private.
The course is divided into curricula, which can be accessed after a broad common basic preparation that extends beyond the first two years of the course.
The degree in Social Sciences for Globalisation offers a good basis for admission to numerous Master's degrees.

The aim is to offer the labour market graduates with a versatile and multi-purpose education, equipped with critical judgement skills, able to understand and analyse globalisation processes from various social, political, legal, economic and cultural aspects, motivated to work in the fields of international development and local social policies. The degree in Social Sciences for Globalisation therefore aims to train qualified professionals capable of independently carrying out analytical tasks in complex organisational contexts, both public and private.

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.

Enrolment
Admission to the degree programme requires applicants to have a high school diploma or an equivalent suitable qualification from abroad.
To be admitted to the course students must sit an examination to check their linguistic-communication capabilities, in addition to taking an online test (TOLC-E) organised by the Consortium of Interuniversity Integrated Access Systems (CISIA). Subject knowledge for admission will be deemed acceptable if the scores in the selection band have been achieved.
Students whose score is lower than the value stated in the selection band, limited to the area of verbal comprehension, will be assigned an additional learning obligation (OFA), which must be met and approved within the first year of the course.
The University organises specific tutoring support for the successful completion of the OFA. Additional information is available on the University study portal of the Faculty of Political, Economic & Social Sciences.
If students fail to satisfy the OFA within the required timescale, the following year they will be unable to sit the examinations for the years subsequent to the first year.
English OFA
To be able to sit the English examination stipulated in the curriculum, students must have level B1 English as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (QCER). This level can be confirmed as follows:
- by sending a level B1 or higher language qualification certificate gained no more than 3 years prior to the date it is submitted (for a list of language qualifications accepted by the University, visit the University portal at https://www.unimi.it/it/studiare/competenze-linguistiche/placement-test-test-di-ingresso-e-corsi-di-inglese). Certificates must be uploaded at the time of enrolment, or at a later date on the portal at http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue;
- by sitting a placement test set exclusively by SLAM during the 1st year, between October and December. Students who fail the placement test must follow the courses delivered by SLAM.
The placement test is compulsory for all students who do not have a valid qualification.
Students who do not sit the placement test by December, or do not pass the final test after 6 attempts, must obtain the qualification at their own expense, during the year in which the language examination is scheduled.
