The first year focuses on the acquisition of skills and knowledge common to both tracks.
From the second year the course is divided into two tracks:
- Policy advising, training aimed at work as a policy consultant or policy analyst
- Community development and management, training aimed at work as a community develop or community manager.
The international dimension of the course is realized through:
- the possibility to participate in an honoursprograme at the University of Trento called Talete “Talenti e Territori”
- the opportunity to carry out a period of study, internship and research thesis abroad
- the presence in the Department of numerous visiting professors and research fellows.
