(Phasing-out course)
This degree program, structured in a transdisciplinary manner and characterized by a high level of internationalization, is designed for an in-depth exploration of the theme of sustainability, articulated in its classic three dimensions of economic, environmental, and social sustainability, in accordance with the guiding principles developed by the United Nations (2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development).
The area of social sustainability is the subject of particular investigation, with the aim of providing a set of knowledge suitable to enable both the immediate independent exercise of multiple functions in institutional and third sector contexts, and the continuation of specialized training in the fields of development cooperation, the protection of human rights and environmental defense, diplomacy, and international relations.
The international and transdisciplinary perspective of this program enables students to learn about and understand the challenges of sustainability at the international, national, and local levels, through an in-depth study of its environmental, social, economic, and political aspects.
The network of institutions and partners directly involved in the program also offers enrolled students various opportunities for stays abroad and professional experiences in the international arena, through internships and traineeships.
The program is international even in its curriculum and offers students the possibility to attend many courses and workshops in English. The program offers employment opportunities in a wide range of professional fields, through an innovative educational model that combines training, research, practical experience, internationalization, and innovation.
