About

The Department of Political Science of the University of Perugia ( https://www.scipol.unipg.it/en/) is a Department of Excellence 2018-2022. The Department was awarded thanks to the results of its scientific research, including its five-year development project called LEPA, LEgality and PArticipation (http://www.lepa.unipg.it/en/the-lepa/). The mission of the Department of Political Science of the University of Perugia is to study politics in all its different aspects and developments. This research area calls for a plurality of approaches, from political science to history, sociology, law, economics, statistics and linguistics. Research feeds into quality teaching, while, in its turn, teaching stimulates research. Students can enjoy the added value of approaching the political sciences through a multidisciplinary approach, choosing from three undergraduate programs, four graduate programs, and a PhD program in Legality, political cultures and democracy. To foster research and teaching activities, the Department promotes the participation of its faculty to international research programs and projects (https://scipol.unipg.it/en/research/research-projects/current-research-projects) and international exchanges of students and teachers, both within the Erasmus network and with universities outside Europe.
