Master in Global Sustainable Development

Concept/Mission:
The Course aims to combine the needs and the economic and social culture of a global society with those of the local realities in which operators increasingly find themselves acting. Everything is increasingly necessarily conditioned by the criteria and dictates of sustainability (joining economic, environmental, and social requirements), of a genuinely sustainable development and, consequently by the new forms of the circular economy. The Course can benefit both the professionalism of economic operators, private or public, and those belonging to Administrations and Institutions at all levels, from the small economic and geographical scale, up to multinational and international realities.
