The International Relations Master's Degree has established a collaboration with the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) that is one of the top graduate schools for international relations in the world and it is a division of Johns Hopkins University.
SAIS provides a multidisciplinary approach, with studies in the areas of international affairs, economics, diplomacy, policy research, and language, that allows you to tailor your curriculum to the issues that matter most to you.
If you are an MA IR student you can apply to take courses at SAIS as part of your elective courses (crediti liberi). You will play an active role in the classroom as courses are focused on debate and discussions.
Please refer to the official call for admissions at this page [LINK] for requirements and deadlines.
If you are enrolled in the first year apply to spend the second year of your master’s program at SAIS to receive the Master of Arts in International Affairs (MAIA) from Johns Hopkins SAIS and the Laurea Magistrale in International Relations from the University of Bologna.
You will learn from renowned faculty and distinguished policy practitioners, build your professional networks, and gain hands-on work experience. The learning is experiential and extends beyond the classroom. You will work on your career and professional development with the help of the Career Services Office.
I first attended a course at SAIS Europe on UN peacekeeping held by a professor with decades of direct field experience. This unique insider’s perspective, along with the inspiring environment that SAIS offers, encouraged me to apply for the MAIA program and join this international community.

"SAIS has been an invigorating opportunity. For anyone with a passion for international affairs and global politics, they will have more than they will be able to get their hands on in terms of courses, materials, and extra-curricular events. I am personally grateful for the chance to be here and plan to make the most of it."
