Course info
The educational programme of this course aims at refining, under an operational point of view, multidisciplinary knowledge and competences in the field of social, economic and demoethnoanthropological acquired during the 1st cycle. Graduates should therefore demonstrate that they have acquired a more advanced knowledge of the relevant issues, enabling them to have a thorough understanding of the problems related to the setting, design and implementation of initiatives of cooperation and economic development in depressed or lagging areas. The course provides for mandatory activities and elective teachings, among which students may choose based on their professional perspectives and their 1st cycle degrees. Students will, in particular, tackle issues related to development economics, advanced quantitative analysis for developing economies, but also issues related to the history of some areas of the world, and juridical issues related to international law and policies. The course also provides for seminars and elaboration initiatives in cooperation with external researchers and experts. The course also aims at transmitting the attitudes needed to work in organised contexts such as local and national public administrations, as well as governmental and nongovernmental international organisations and third sector organisations and all those national and national private companies with a specific interest in starting investments in less developed economic areas. The course aims at training professionals in the field of cooperation and development, with understanding of underdevelopment as well as of the issues related to economic growth and sustainable development, policies against poverty and of the processes of modelling, democratisation, globalisation and international regulation. The course also aims at training for public and private research paths capable of providing, within university and extra-university work contexts, indications and scientific interpretations of the effectiveness and economic value of implemented actions.
Graduates may find professional opportunities in the public administration, in international bodies and agencies in the field of cooperation and help to developing countries, with high responsibility positions.
It consists of a dissertation on course-related topics, written by the student under the guidance of one or more Professors of the Faculty. The theoretical study might consist of a concrete project work analysing and proposing the real course of an international cooperation action.
