Descrizione
This Master trains specialists in the public sector who can tackle the challenges posed by European governance and the ecological and digital transition. With an interdisciplinary approach, the programme explores the most recent European policies, such as cohesion, sustainability, innovation, digitalisation and the environment, and provides tools for communicating them.
It offers two tracks:
- Internal or Local: focuses on special administrative law (environmental law, privacy, procurement and concessions) and public accounting.
- International: focuses on in-depth studies on development cooperation, human rights, non-governmental organisations and the global role of the EU.
The Master is also designed for working professionals, thanks to its 18-months duration, compatible timetable (with classes on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings) and 30% online teaching. Classes are offered in Italian, German and English, with percentages varying depending on the chosen track.
