Student review [#24606] for Political Science
at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore - UCSC

As we know, the great limitation of the Italian academic world is represented by the frontality and the nationalism of its teaching. An attitude that often leads students to limit, on the one hand, the exchange of information between students themselves and teachers and, on the other, to make them aware of excessive information that is scarcely reusable in a working context. In my five years at UCSC – three of them in the language faculty and two in the political science faculty – I can say that this has rarely happened.
In the three years, following the Arabic and English classes, the teachers followed us, even though the latter were numerous in terms of students. In the two-year master’s degree, in political science for international cooperation, I dealt with various subjects, of a specialist and more generic topics, of a political, historical, economic and sociological nature. After Erasmus in Portugal – which here does not have the immodest purpose of addressing the question in full – I feel I can confirm the quality of the University’s teaching and of the teachers I got to know.
Finally, I spend a few words on the present. UCSC is completely inefficient in providing support to graduate students on their way to careers as far as I am concerned to say here. I believe that the service, poor and incomplete, like various internal offices of the University, can be considerably enhanced in order to reach the standards of the great London universities or some European ones.
In my work, I do not deal with cooperation, although I am in daily contact with international events, geopolitics and geoeconomics. In this sense, often, the wide (but not chaotic) knowledge I received in UCSC allows me to deal with disparate business issues.
