| Entry requirements | The programme is intended for top level international students. About 40 students are expected to enrol each year, which will guarantee an optimal ratio between instructors and students. Admission is based on academic excellence. Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent; a strong interest and/or previous studies in economics, political science or related subjects; undergraduate or graduate training in mathematics and quantitative methods or a strong motivation to quickly fill their gaps in these fields; a sound knowledge of spoken and written English. The evaluation process will take into consideration the applicants’ prior academic record, their motivation and performance at the interview (see below). More specifically, applicants who obtained their bachelor’s degrees from Italian Universities are eligible for admission if they hold a “laurea” degree belonging to any one of the “classi di laurea” (degree classes) listed below under the heading "Note". Applicants who completed their undergraduate studies in foreign Universities are eligible for admission if they hold a bachelor’s degree in economics, political science, or other broadly related subjects (from history to industrial engineering, from management to mathematics, from philosophy to sociology, and so on), provided that their bachelor’s degree may be regarded as equivalent to one of the Italian “laurea” degrees listed below. Eligible candidates must meet the following requirements: a) They must have earned at least 60 ECTS credits or equivalent in the following fields: business administration, computer science, economics, law, management, mathematics, philosophy, political science, sociology or statistics. The ECTS credit value of foreign applicants’ undergraduate studies will be assessed by the EPS admissions committee. Applicants holding an Italian bachelor’s degree must have earned the required credits within the following set of admissible “settori scientifico-disciplinari” (disciplinary scientific sectors): INF/01- Informatica; ING-INF/05 - Sistemi di elaborazione delle informazioni; ING-IND/35 - Ingegneria economico-gestionale; IUS/01 - Diritto privato; IUS/04 - Diritto commerciale; IUS/05 - Diritto dell'economia; IUS/07 - Diritto del lavoro; IUS/08 - Diritto costituzionale; IUS/09 - Istituzioni di diritto pubblico; IUS/10 - Diritto amministrativo; IUS/13 - Diritto internazionale; IUS/21 - Diritto pubblico comparato; MAT/01 - Logica matematica; MAT/02 – Algebra; MAT/03 – Geometria; MAT/05 - Analisi matematica; MAT/06 - Probabilità e statistica matematica; MAT/08 - Analisi numerica; MAT/09 - Ricerca operativa; M-FIL/01 - Filosofia teoretica; M-FIL/02 - Logica e filosofia della scienza; M-FIL/03 - Filosofia morale; SECS-P/01 - Economia politica; SECS-P/02 - Politica economica; SECS-P/03 - Scienza delle finanze; SECS-P/04 - Storia del pensiero economico; SECS-P/05 – Econometria; SECS-P/06 - Economia applicata; SECS-P/07 - Economia aziendale; SECS-P/08 - Economia e gestione delle imprese; SECS-P/09 - Finanza aziendale; SECS-P/10 - Organizzazione aziendale; SECS-P/11 - Economia degli intermediari finanziari; SECS-P/12 - Storia economica; SECS-S/01 – Statistica; SECS-S/03 - Statistica economica; SECS-S/04 – Demografia; SECS-S/05 - Statistica sociale; SECS-S/06 - Metodi matematici dell’economia e delle scienze attuariali e finanziarie; SPS/01 - Filosofia politica; SPS/02 - Storia delle dottrine politiche; SPS/03 - Storia delle istituzioni politiche; SPS/04 - Scienza politica; SPS/07 - Sociologia generale; SPS/08 - Sociologia dei processi culturali e comunicativi; SPS/09 - Sociologia dei processi economici e del lavoro; SPS/10 - Sociologia dell’ambiente e del territorio; SPS/11 - Sociologia dei fenomeni politici b)Non-native speakers of English must be able to demonstrate their knowledge of English either by showing they have at least one year of university studies at institutions where the language of instruction is English, or by possessing one of the following: - Cambridge CAE - Certificate in Advanced English: grade A or B; - Cambridge CPE - Certificate of Proficiency in English: grade A, or B, or C; - Cambridge IELTS: overall score of at least 6; - TOEFL paper-based, computer-based or internet-based: overall score of at least 550, 215 or 80, respectively.

The two-year masters degree in Economics and Political Science (EPS) aims at developing a highly qualified learning track in the fields of economics and political science.
In modern times economics and political science have been growing out of the same trunk, represented by moral and political philosophy. While drawing their origin and inspiration from this common matrix, the two fields have soon organised themselves according to autonomous epistemological statutes, to which distinct conceptual frameworks correspond. Nevertheless they have preserved their tight relationships, mutually affecting one another over the centuries.
Indeed, not only their common origin, but also the extensive sharing of the very object of study have fostered the methodological and theoretical similarities between the two social sciences. Over the last two centuries, in particular, the increased public intervention in the economic sphere in all types of socio-economic systems, market economies included, has drawn the two disciplines closer, making them face a common set of issues and questions.
In present-day research activity one can find countless instances of theoretical and empirical investigations where the boundaries between the two sciences become blurred and the tools and methods of analysis - from rational choice theory to game theory, from political philosophy to econometrics, from the theory of justice to welfare economics - turn out to be essentially the same. To cite just a few examples, one can mention the analysis of individual and collective choice in both the economic and the political field; the examination of the relationships existing between political institutions on one hand and economic growth or social welfare on the other; the discussion of public policies and their effects on individual and aggregate economic variables; the study of the interaction between government actions and business cycles.
The design of the EPS master’s degree is highly innovative in the Italian university system. Even if inter-disciplinary second-level degrees are not altogether missing in the Italian context, no two-year master’s degree in economics and politics is presently offered by any Italian university.
What is inexistent in Italy, however, is common in the academic tradition of most EU and non-EU countries. In the English-speaking world, in particular, the undergraduate and graduate programmes in Philosophy, Politics and Economics have represented for more than a century the privileged access to prestigious professional careers in both the economic and the political field, in public and private sectors alike. Similar experiences are also familiar in the French- and German-speaking university systems.
These deeply rooted traditions are another factor behind the intention of organising the EPS degree as a fully internationalised programme, promoting mobility and joint degree agreements with similar courses offered by foreign universities. The language of instruction is English.
The EPS master’s programme aims at providing its students with advanced and complete training in both economics and political science. Such training should be comparable to that offered by any leading international master’s programme in each of the two disciplines separately taken.
Specifically, the EPS master’s programme aims at forming professional economists and political scientists. EPS graduates will not only be endowed with high-level analytical and operational skills, but they will also be characterised by such an open and critical vision of economic, political and social issues, and such a cultural depth that could hardly be achieved by attending a programme centred on a single or prevailing disciplinary field.
EPS students will be able to reach highly qualified theoretical and applied knowledge and skills in each of the following fields: mathematics, probability and statistics, with applications to economic, political and social sciences; econometrics; microeconomics; macroeconomics; economic policy; public economics; welfare economics; history of economic analysis; epistemology of the social sciences; political philosophy; political theory; decision theory; game theory; social and political choice theory; theory of justice.
The EPS degree is designed to train students in advanced methodologies, analytical tools and quantitative techniques used in all fields of economics and political science.
EPS graduates will be ready to undertake a wide array of career paths in multinational companies, political institutions, public organizations, and other professions demanding high intellectual skills, robust technical competencies and versatile knowledge. They will also be well prepared to engage in further academic research in top PhD programmes.
