Master in International Studies

International studies is a broad, interdisciplinary field that brings together political science, economics, history, and cultural analysis to examine global affairs. This master's programme in International Studies is taught in English at the Universita degli Studi Roma Tre, in Roma, Italy, and lasts two years. Students typically explore subjects such as international political economy, comparative politics, diplomatic history, and the workings of international institutions, often alongside language study and area-focused coursework on specific regions of the world. The discipline places emphasis on understanding how political, economic, and social forces interact across borders, including topics such as globalization, trade policy, development, and international security. Many programmes combine theoretical study with practical skills in research methods, policy analysis, and negotiation, preparing students to interpret complex global events and assess their implications. Because the field draws on multiple disciplines, students often gain a broad foundation that can be applied to specialized roles later in their careers. Graduates of international studies programmes commonly work in government agencies, international organizations, consultancies, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector in roles related to policy analysis, international business, or communications. Some pursue further academic study, including doctoral research, while others move into diplomatic or public service careers. The field attracts students interested in comparative perspectives on governance, culture, and economic development across different regions of the world. Based in Roma, students in this programme are situated in one of Italy's major political and cultural centres, home to national government institutions and a long tradition of international diplomacy. The English-medium format is intended to serve an international student cohort.
