The Bachelor of Science in Administration and Politics provides methodological, cultural and professional knowledge with an interdisciplinary character on contemporary societies, with specific focus on the problems of administration and social organizations. The objective is the acquisition of management, organizational, planning, reporting and communication skills in public and private spheres, particularly in the administration and management of complex organizations (parties, unions, NGOs, etc.).

Lectures involve both face-to-face teaching and various forms of innovative and participatory teaching. TEAMS and AulaWeb platforms are used for online teaching. In forms compatible with COVID emergency, the following are also provided:

• mobility of students under international programs
.
• traineeships
• credit seminars
• supplementary courses taught by visiting scholars

Operators in public administration, local development and European projects; employees in press offices, OPR, communication and strategic planning agencies; employees in human resources planning and organization; researchers in social and public opinion research institutes; corporate trainers; experts in labor relations; workers in parties, unions, NGOs.

The graduate may also continue his or her studies by enrolling in a master's degree program in continuity, such as Public Administration and Policy.

The degree program provides students with basic knowledge and skills, interdisciplinary in nature, in the various disciplines related to administration and politics (particularly law, political science, economics, sociology, history), as well as the study of one or two foreign languages.
The course is divided into two curricula:

• "Political Science," a more cultural-theoretical pathway aimed at the knowledge, intervention and management of social and political processes related to society and its government
.
• "Political Science," a more cultural-theoretical path aimed at the knowledge, intervention and management of social and political processes related to the problems of society and its government
• "Science of Administration," a more applied-professional pathway, aimed at the knowledge, intervention and management of administrative-managerial processes within complex organizations

The educational activities include a common part of the two curricula, with the basic disciplines required in both paths, concentrated mainly in the first two years. From the second year and especially with the third, the pathways differentiate between the two curricula, with the more specific disciplines of the respective fields. Both curricula allow both direct access to the world of work and a continuation of studies in the master's degree.

The traditional teaching activities are complemented by additional forms of learning, which allow the student to develop a fruitful interaction with the outside world. For example:

• conferences, seminars and meetings with teachers and experts, including external ones, on topical issues
• cultural exchanges of faculty and students within the framework of international and European programs, such as LLP Erasmus, CINDA and others
• traineeships in public administrations and companies, including abroad
