Master in
Management of Sustainable Development Goals
First Level Specialized Master
The Master in Management of Sustainable Development Goals (MSDG) is a Specialized Master program taught entirely in English. It builds on a double blended learning approach. First, it combines face-to-face and online teaching – via the most advanced web/communication technologies – supporting student/faculty continuous interaction.
Second, MSDG blends a Knowledge-based part – theory, practice and technical skills relating to the UN Agenda’s SD goals – with a Professional-based part – a set of strategic competencies to manage international projects on SD. MSDG hinges on an extensive range of fundamentals, core courses and applied projects. With its problem-solving focus MSDG will allow you to indulge your passion using a systemic, holistic and skills-based approach in a truly global perspective.

Ensuring Sustainability is the greatest challenge of our time
Dealing with both environmental and social emergencies is key to preserve humanity’s future. In his Encyclical letter Laudato si’ Pope Francis reminded us of the need to endorse an ‘integral ecology’ approach where preserving nature and respecting the dignity of each person must be achieved jointly.
