Bachelor of Arts in Governance and Public Policy

Politics is a process that seeks to distribute social resources in a binding manner. But how do politics, the economy, justice and society interlink with each other? What are the effects between them? How are conflicts of interest handled? Studying in the BA Governance and Public Policy programme, you will deal with the structure and organisation of the state and its institutions. The programme also looks beyond nation-states, as it explores the roles of other political actors, such as international and non-governmental organisations and the mass media. You will look at the challenges within our society as well as in the globalised world from different perspectives and find solutions using methods informed by different academic disciplines. As part of the programme, you are also given the opportunity to complete one of two double degree options, studying international relations at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) or the "Scienze politiche e delle relazioni internazionali" programme at the University of Parma (Italy).
