Tuition is 3,505 USD per year.

Politics, Administration and Organization is a graduate field that studies how political systems, public institutions, and organizations function and are governed. Coursework typically covers public administration, political science theory, organizational behavior, public policy analysis, and the management of public and private institutions. Students examine how decisions are made within governments and organizations, how policies are designed and implemented, and how institutions are structured to deliver public services efficiently. The field often draws on political science, sociology, and management studies to give a rounded view of governance at local, national, and international levels. This master's degree, offered by Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna in Bologna, Italy, is taught in English and lasts two years. Graduates from this field typically pursue careers in public administration, government agencies, international organizations, policy research, and management roles within nonprofit or public sector bodies. Some move into consulting for organizations seeking to improve governance and administrative efficiency, while others work in electoral politics, public affairs, or organizational development. The combination of political analysis and administrative or managerial training equips graduates to work at the interface between policy design and its practical implementation. Students also gain analytical tools for evaluating institutional performance and organizational change, skills relevant whether working within a government ministry, a large corporation, or a civil society organization. This blend of political understanding and organizational competence makes the field a common pathway into careers focused on governance and public management.
