LM-52 R (International relations)

International Relations: People, Rights and Resources (PRR)

The programme intends to examine the theme of international relations starting from the centrality of the human being understood as the bearer of original and irreducible rights, the fulfilment of which, as a limit and as an opportunity, depends on the availability and management of natural, intellectual and technological resources, also with reference to the doctrine of "human security".

The student will spend the first semester at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, the second semester of the first year at UiS-Universitet i Stavanger (Norway) and the first semester of the second year at Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany).

The last semester will be devoted entirely to the performance of the dissertation and internship or other training activities approved by the Faculty.

The admission requirements, in addition to knowledge of English,  are specified in the admission procedures below.

Admission to the programme takes place on the basis of an interview and evaluation of the curriculum of studies.

For further information write to enrollment.PRR@unicatt.it
For more information on semesters abroad, please write to: info.outbound@unicatt.it, indicating in the subject line "information by PRR pathway".
