Are you looking for an education that empowers you to understand, analyse and interpret social, political and economic issues as interconnected phenomena? If so, then you're a good fit for this Philosophy, International and Economic Studies program, entirely taught in English, which provides a solid logical-philosophical grounding, a familiarity with international cultures and realities, and a basic knowledge of the tools used to analyse the macroeconomic context, market behaviour and economic factors.

By developing your critical understanding of philosophical, political and economic texts and helping you acquire the skills you need to be able to gather and communicate information about the globalisation, the program prepares you to identify and shape solutions to some of the complex challenges we are facing today. You will also be pleased to know that the QS World University Rankings by Subject ranks Ca' Foscari in the top 150 universities in the world for History and the top 200 for Economics & Econometrics.
