Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Public Administration + Specialization in Government and Public Management

The Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Public Administration with a specialization in Government and Public Management offers students the opportunity to develop specific skills in formulating and evaluating public policies, preparing them to effectively lead governmental organizations. This is achieved through an intensified curriculum that includes:

• Guarantee of taking a guided Final Degree Project with a specialized tutor
• Mention in the official degree title of the Degree

The purpose of the degree is twofold. On one hand, it provides a general education that enables orientation towards the characteristic exits of the Political Science degree.
