Degree

The Master in Management of Development is delivered as a First Level Master by the University of Turin, according to the so-called Bologna Process, which created the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) by making academic degree standards and quality assurance standards more comparable and compatible throughout Europe. Therefore, the master's program carries 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits, equivalent to the workload of a full-time student during one academic year. The Master’s degree is awarded upon successful passing of all the exams, thesis submission, and after having fulfilled all the conditions required.

IMPORTANT: A First Level Master does not give access to PhD programs in Italy. Admission requirements to Ph.D. programs vary from country to country, as these depend on the university system of the country where the Ph.D. program is held.
