Master in Circular Economy

The master offers multidisciplinary training in the circular economy, understood as a model able to reduce waste and environmental impact by keeping the value of products and materials for as long as possible. The content covers sustainable innovation and circular management, sustainable supply chains, production technologies, environmental impact assessment systems, resource management and the ecological transition. The page does not provide details of the individual modules. The circular economy proposes moving beyond the linear model of production and consumption, valorising reuse, repair, recycling and the design of more durable products, and the master analyses the implications of this vision for companies, supply chains and territories.

Teaching lasts twelve months and comprises 1,500 hours, equal to 60 credits. It is held in blended mode, combining asynchronous and synchronous online activities with in-person lessons in Bari, a flexible format suited to those who work. Intermediate assessments and a final exam are planned, and the training includes internships, which make it possible to apply skills in real organisational contexts. The page does not state the language of instruction, presumably Italian. The combination of online teaching and in-person attendance encourages the participation of professionals from different regions, while internships and periodic assessments help consolidate skills and verify the ability to apply the principles of circularity to concrete cases of companies, supply chains and administrations. The blended format, with synchronous and asynchronous activities, makes it possible to organise one's study time flexibly, while in-person lessons encourage direct exchange with faculty and colleagues and the building of a professional network.

The aim is to train professionals able to guide the transition to circular models within organisations. Career opportunities include the roles of sustainability manager, ecological transition consultant, circular supply chain expert and policy advisor. The master is aimed at holders of master's or equivalent degrees from different fields, including engineering, economics, environmental sciences and law, who wish to develop a profile able to integrate technical, economic and regulatory aspects, in a context where companies and institutions are called on to rethink production, consumption and resource management according to sustainability criteria. Students develop skills in material flow analysis, impact assessment and the design of circular strategies, abilities increasingly in demand from companies, consultants and public administrations. The master also develops communication, project management and external partnership skills.
