Social and Public Policy is a unique 3-year undergraduate degree program designed for students who want to make a real impact in the world. Taught entirely in English, this full-time program is perfect for creative, motivated individuals who thrive in a multicultural environment.

Throughout the six semesters, students will dive into over 20 courses and a diploma seminar to prepare for their bachelor thesis and individual focus. The first two semesters will introduce students to the major concepts and theories of social and public policies, while the remaining semesters will have students exploring how to design, implement, and evaluate policies related to social and public issues.

What sets the Social and Public Policy program apart is its interdisciplinary approach, exposing students not only to social and public policy but also to diverse fields such as law, economics, history, and culture. The University's prime location grants students access to an array of academic and extracurricular activities, including captivating open lectures by distinguished professors from all corners of the globe. Moreover, students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Erasmus+ Programme, offering them a wide perspective on social and public issues through a semester abroad.
