Bachelor
L-37 - Social sciences for co-operation, development and peace
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 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.

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.
