What does it train you for?
The Bachelor's Degree Program aims to provide multidisciplinary knowledge and skills in the fields of economic, social, and demo-ethno-anthropological sciences, as well as development planning, with a particular focus on environmental sustainability.
The program is designed to equip students with the ability to understand, address, and professionally manage the challenges and opportunities arising from economic and social development interventions and cooperation efforts, both in underdeveloped and marginal areas as well as in advanced economies.
After a common first year, the program is divided into two curricula: one primarily focused on economic development, sustainability, and environmental issues; and the other oriented towards international cooperation and the analysis of migration phenomena, featuring nine courses taught in English.
The training aims to develop the skills necessary to operate within organized contexts such as public administration at both local and national levels, as well as international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, and the third sector.
Additionally, it prepares students for roles in private enterprises, both national and international, that are interested in pursuing investment strategies in developed and transitional economic areas.
