"Cedant arma eductioni"
In the contemporary processes of globalization, education is taking on an increasingly important role. As a result, a range of new job opportunities is opening at the local, national, and international levels. Likewise, the nature of the mission of education is changing rapidly due to the emergence of a global educational regime with a host of curricular, pedagogical, economic, political, and civic implications. Understanding these processes is necessary in order to fill positions in institutions and organizations that carry out educational tasks in emerging international contexts, such as those involving the development of research careers.
This master’s program aims to: introduce students to the current theories of global, international, and comparative education; promote critical assessment of global dynamics and their impacts in the educational field; inform students about international educational contexts; and provide them with the tools to carry out informed research and to design and implement educational programs based on that research.
The acceleration of global warming has forced us to make a deep critical reflection on the current socioeconomic model and to build itineraries for socioecological transition that will promote global sustainability.
We also reflect on those community strategies that favour resilience, citizen participation, and the construction of a new paradigm based on socioeconomic and territorial cooperation at the international level involving both private- and public-sector actors. Topics covered within the program include corporate sustainability, sustainable cities and communities, environmental policy and international development, sustainable food systems, natural resource management and sustainable ecosystems, and sustainable finance. The degree prepares students for research, service in international organizations, consulting work, public administration, and private-sector employment.
Students will develop an in-depth understanding of the policy dynamics behind global sustainability including the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations, EU sustainability agendas 2030 and 2050, etc.
Most great learning happens in groups. Join a team of multi-cultural scholars and practitioners from all around the world.
