The Bachelor’s Degree in “Social Sciences for Global Challenges” is completely taught in English and aims to train future experts on global challenges, such as: biodiversity, health, climate change, population ageing, migrations and natural disasters. In the constant effort to develop strategies and responses to problems that affect a growing numbers of individuals and communities, international organizations and administrations increasingly need the contribution of the social sciences and their ability to take into account the links between the local and global levels, to engage in dialogue across administrative, legal, economic, political, health, and environmental dimensions that do not always communicate with each other, and to grasp the impact of these processes on the lives of individuals and groups. The Degree Program offers the analytical instruments and the knowledge needed to understand the causes, nature and development of political, economic, demographic, climate and healthcare related challenges, as well as the organizational competences to work effectively in public administrations and in international and national organizations. The program follows an interdisciplinary academic path, moving from more general to specific courses. This will enable students to use methods, theories and approaches from different disciplines. The program is structured around the following areas: political and social sciences, law, economics, history, statistics and foreign languages, with additional competences offered by anthropology, maths, epidemiology and complexity theory. This open access program requires a B2 level in English, which will need to be certified by providing a language certificate, by having completed a secondary school program in English, or by taking an entrance test. The Degree Program also requires participation in a non-selective entrance test to certify students’ general knowledge.
