Overview
The MA in Cooperation, Project Making and European policies offers a specific program that combines hands-on professional training with high-level university education.

The MA, on the one hand, offers a multidisciplinary theoretical preparation to further students' knowledge on the analysis and interpretation of political phenomena, economic and social aspects of complex international situations in general and of the EU in particular.

On the other hand, the MA guarantees the acquisition and improvement of basic and fundamental criteria, technical skills on project design, management and assessment and on the implementation of cooperation development actions to operate in the public sector, private and non-profit, locally and internationally.

The MA course has a strong international nature. All lectures, seminars and workshops will be held in English. Each student is guaranteed at least one proposal for internships at European, international and national organizations, local authorities, NGOs and consulting firms.
