Teaching methodology
The programme is characterized by the use of interactive teaching, which also implies a verification of learning during exercises, seminars and workshops. During the lessons, students may be asked to prepare papers and presentations, either individually or in small groups. There will be
written tests and oral examinations. The presence in the study plan of a mandatory Project Cycle Laboratory and reporting elements, and the possibility of choosing other workshops on specific topics of great relevance in the field of cooperation, are intended to promote knowledge of the world of work and professional integration. Curricular internships - to be carried out at bodies or institutions active in the field of cooperation - and the organisation of seminars and meetings with scholars and operators of Italian and international cooperation within lectures follow the same path.
The format
In both years of the programme, courses related to different subject areas are provided, aimed at training professionals capable of managing the complex and multifaceted dynamics of development cooperation processes. In the second year, an important part of the workload required of students is to be dedicated to the preparation of the dissertation. The timetable and organisation of the courses and workshops are aimed at facilitating attendance and regular course of study.
