The innovative Integrated Graduate Program in International Studies and Transnational Governance distinctively combines:

• a strong core of interdisciplinary teaching with an emphasis on international relations, global politics, European affairs and sub-national institutions;
• a broader interdisciplinary curriculum building analytical and research skills;
• an interactive learning formula;
• a lively international learning community of tenured resident faculty, academics, practitioners;
• scientific supervision and counselling coaching students’ vocational needs.

Students will have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at partner institutions in Latin America, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

At the end of the Integrated Graduate Program in International Studies and Transnational Governance, students will receive both the Master’s diploma in European and International Studies from the School of International Studies in Trento and the Graduate Diploma in Transnational Governance from the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Studi Universitari e Perfezionamento in Pisa.
