Every year, in keeping with its policy of promoting internationalization, the Department of Political Science, Law and International Studies offers students the opportunity to attend Winter and Summer Schools organized in collaboration with academic institutions or other international organizations. The initiative aims to provide early support for short-term intensive courses of high quality, targeted at different types of users: both Italian and foreign researchers, doctoral students, post-graduate students or professionals and public or private employees. At least 30% of the lecturers must come from foreign Institutions and the use of English as language of instruction is compulsory. The courses carry training credits that will be recognized for overall study programmes and life-long education.
