Description:
STeDe Master aims to create experts in the area of sustainable territorial development. More concretely it trains professionals to be able to help organizations acting in the territory (enterprises, local communities, civil society organizations) to draft sustainable development policies for economic, social, environmental, international and intercultural management.
The Master concerns the economic competitiveness, social inclusion, environmental protection, international cooperation and intercultural relation challenges of territorial development focussing not only on local communities, but also on enterprises, non-state actors and civil society organizations. It also aims to offer an example of sustainable territory involving all local organizations, which should have human resources available and able to promote sustainable development.
The Master refers to the ability of:
- giving recommendations in the area of sustainable territorial development in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss;
- taking part in the idea, analysis and management of a sustainable development policy on the territory;
- assessing the different validation tools for sustainable development actions and policies within public and private territorial organizations.
Admission criteria:
-Candidates with education in human and social sciences (economics, geography, development, management, law, etc.) or hard sciences (agriculture, environmental sciences, engineering, etc.) will be accepted to the Master. A basic knowledge of economics will be appreciated.
-A good command of English and/or French, both spoken and written, is required. Students without a good command in one of the two languages, will be requested to attend a compulsory language training, outside the curriculum.
Each university could offer English and French language courses before or during each study semester. These courses will be charged about 250€ for about 30 hrs (on very provisional data). The students will be informed of their French and English language level at the time of admission and after the end of each study semester. They could be invited to reach the written or/and spoken language required level outside the curriculum, on their own charge. To avoid any kind of problems, we advise students who don't have a good command of one of the two languages to take language courses before the beginning of STeDe.
Candidates are requested to have a first cycle degree of 180 ECTS (licenciatura, Bachelor degree, diploma di laurea di primo livello, licence) or an equivalent degree (diplôme d'école d'ingénieurs, école de commerce etc.).
Deadline: 31 December 2012
