Joint European Master in Comparative Local Development

The programme offers 18 months (95 ECTS) of training for a joint post-graduate Master’s degree. Its main objective is to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and skills for introducing, supporting and co-ordinating processes of change and transformation at the local level. The focus of the programme is local development, with the following characteristics: public, private, and non-governmental agents are involved; social stability and economic prosperity are strengthened, in agreement with the acquis communautaire/standards in European/EC law. The general approach is comparative and interdisciplinary.

The Master’s programme includes courses in economics, law, sociology and political sciences, project cycle management, workshops, skills training, internships, language courses, and distance learning. Most of the courses are taught at the University of Trento by professors of the University of Trento and partner Universities, and by international experts. Some courses are taught at one or more of the partner universities. Given the focus on local development, most of the internships and other activities will take place in local organisations located in Italy and in the countries of partner universities.
