Courses in Territory

The territory is the space where environment, society, economy and culture intertwine, and its management requires skills able to combine planning, protection and local development. Master's programmes in Territory train professionals who know how to read territorial dynamics, design enhancement interventions and collaborate with communities, public bodies and companies to build more liveable, resilient and attractive contexts.

The programmes include land-use planning, local development, landscape management, urban and rural regeneration, geographic information systems, risk analysis and territorial resilience, place marketing, sustainable tourism, cohesion policies and European funds, mobility and infrastructure, and participation and shared design. Lessons combine theory, laboratories, geographic data analysis and projects developed with administrations and local communities.

A master's in Territory lets you develop skills in context analysis, drafting plans and programmes, using GIS and digital mapping tools, designing fundable interventions and managing participatory processes. You learn to coordinate different actors and to find balances between economic, social and environmental needs.

Career opportunities include land-use planner, local development expert, development officer, GIS expert, European project designer, place marketing expert, head of technical and planning offices in local authorities, consultant to administrations and researcher. Opportunities exist in local authorities, regions, local action groups, development agencies, consulting firms, engineering companies and non-profit organisations.

Policies for inner areas, for the regeneration of villages and for the ecological transition are widening job opportunities for those who know how to design and manage interventions on the territory.

Many programmes offer internships at public bodies and development agencies, a valuable opportunity to work on concrete projects and build professional relationships.
