Master programme
LM-52 R - Relazioni internazionali
Il curriculum A mira all'acquisizione, con un approccio autenticamente multidisciplinare e con una pluralità di strumenti metodologici, di una preparazione avanzata nelle discipline giuridiche, economiche, politologiche e storiche a vocazione internazionale. Risulta così progressivamente sviluppata negli studenti la capacità di contestualizzazione e lettura analitica dei fenomeni connaturati alle relazioni internazionali. Esso è poi volto all'acquisizione di abilità di analisi critica, di capacità di previsione di scenari e di definizione di linee strategiche comportamentali, di elaborazione di modelli di esecuzione, in contesti operativi di natura nazionale o sovranazionale, delle politiche progettate. Simili abilità sono sviluppate con particolare riguardo alla gestione di fenomeni attinenti alla politica estera e alla cooperazione internazionale, soprattutto nei campi dell'economia, dell'ambiente e dei conflitti commerciali e bellici, al funzionamento delle istituzioni internazionali governative e non governative, in campo politico, strategico, economico e finanziario. I risultati di apprendimento attesi vengono conseguiti e verificati attraverso più strumenti didattici, quali lezioni, esercitazioni, seminari, lavori di gruppo e laboratori professionalizzanti. L'accertamento di conoscenze e capacità di comprensione avviene tramite presentazioni in aula, esami scritti od orali con il comune obiettivo di verificare il possesso delle indicate capacità applicative.
In light of its international focus, the Master's degree programme in International Relations provides enrolled students with a wide range of options, in terms of foreign institutions where they may follow part of their studies and take exams, in the context of the Erasmus+ Programme. Erasmus+ funded scholarships may be available.
The Department of International, Legal, Historical and Political Studies (DILHPS) - which is responsible for the Master's degree -collaborates with several partner Universities in France, Spain, Eastern Europe (mainly the Czech Republic, Poland and Lithuania), as well as in Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Norway and the United Kingdom. Moreover, thanks to specific arrangements with some Turkish Universities, students will have the chance to experience life and study in a stimulating cross-cultural environment.
While staying in a partner University, students will be able to pursue their studies, in particular in the fields of International Relations, International and Comparative Law, Public and Private Law, History of International Relations and Politics.
The procedure for the recognition of exams taken abroad consists of two phases: a) before the student leaves, a 'Learning Agreement' will identify the courses that he/she is authorized to take abroad on the basis of the student's preferences and subject to the agreement of each Professor; b) upon the student's return, the University of Milan will recognize the exams included in the 'Transcript of Records' provided by the partner University and convert the grades received by the student.
