FACOLTÀ DI SCIENZE POLITICHE
The specific objective of the Master program is the
qualification of the human resources, the professional
formation and the pursuit of innovative actions of social
promotion and economic development, through
the promotion of the local development and the cooperation
in the Adriatic region.
The Master will qualify and improve the value of the
human resources involved in the processes of cooperation
to the local development, with particular attention
to the tied up local economic activities, the typical
production and the sustainable tourism in the
Adriatic-Ionian region. The course will furnish a specific
formation in the field of the socio-economic and
environmental studies, on the themes of the sustainable
development and the local development.
A further objective is the professional retraining of
the many young graduated in the field of the human
and social sciences - to a large extent women - who
hardly have access to the local labour market. The latter
asks for necessary technical competences to manage
and coordinate the processes of local territorial
development. Therefore, the master aims at shaping
professional managers of the local development, able
to work at the international level for the promotion
and the exploitation of the Adriatic-Ionian region.
Besides, the Master aims at re-training the professionals
and officials that already work in public and private
structures, with the purpose to improve the processes
of local development and the cooperation
among the countries of the two coasts.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The master will guarantee to the students the acquisition
of a high-level of professional competences in
the field of the sustainable local development. Such
competences will facilitate the actions of social, economic
and political reconstruction of the Adriatic-Ionian
region. Such region progressively suffers the effects
of globalization on the social integration dynamics.
The implementation of the master will facilitate
the conjunction and the coordination of actions of local
development through the cooperation activities
among the countries of the two banks. Insofar, the
master wants to be a point of reference for the processes
of spin off and innovation in enterprises and
public corporate body.
LANGUAGES
Programme activities will be in English.
EXAMS AND THESIS
1) An intermediary evaluation of the internship/individu al
research project.
2) Final thesis, to be assessed by anonymous referees.
Admission to the thesis work will be granted to those
who have been actively participated to the on-line
activities and have attended at least two over three of
the frontal courses.
TITLE AWARDED
Following successful completion of the final discussion,
the University of Teramo will appoint a First
