The postgraduate degree course Analisi, prevenzione e contrasto della criminalità organizzata e della corruzione provides tools to improve policies for countering and preventing organised crime and corruption. This multidisciplinary and inter-university course is carried out in agreement (currently under renewal) with the University of Naples ‘Federico II’, the University of Palermo, the University of Turin and the association Libera associazioni, nomi e numeri contro le mafie.
The postgraduate degree course trains professionals capable of actively operating in the field of public administration and third sector organisations on issues of legality, administrative activity and the prevention of criminal phenomena.
The training programme combines contributions from the social sciences: from criminal and criminological analysis, to economics, sociological, historical and political science.
Theoretical insights are combined with training on legislation for prevention and counteraction, as well as on other policies against criminal infiltration into the legal economy and public procurement.
Considerable emphasis is placed on empirical research, offering an up-to-date analysis of the evolution of criminal phenomena and the challenges related to the application of current legislation.
Career opportunities
The postgraduate degree course trains professionals who can work:
- in the third sector, in associations and cooperatives
- in the field of social communication and journalism
