The Double Masters in Policies & Governance in Europe (PAGE) will provide you with an in-depth understanding of major political and economic developments in Europe, and of the analytical approaches developed to account for them. You will study at two of the most highly ranked universities in Europe in the field of politics and international studies: Luiss, which has currently firmly established itself among the top-25 institutions in this field, and King’s College London, 15th in the world and 5th in Europe in the 2020 QS Elsevier Subject Ranking. Students enrolling in this programme will benefit greatly from this partnership, which will provide them with in-depth knowledge of policies and political economy of the European Union (EU) and European states, addressed from an interdisciplinary perspective combining political sciences, law, and economics.
