FINAL PROJECT
(alternative options)
In the last phase students can opt for either a in-company experience, for a minimum of 12 weeks
or for research project. The in-company experience and research project will be tutored by the Master’s faculty members.
Field projects are a key part of the MSM learning experience, allowing students to mimic real-life situations and work on practical assignments as part of their compulsory class activities.
MSM field projects are short-term assignments to be carried out in close cooperation with a company or any other organization interested in taking advantage of the training provided by this specialized program. Field projects will be organized with leading global organizations in the fields of corporate sustainability, energy and environment.
