What is a Minor

A Minor is a complementary programme to a Bachelor’s Degree which allows you to broaden your main study field by developing cross-cutting skills that are useful both for your further education and for your career.

A Minor is composed of three modules of 6 ECTS each. By passing the three Minor exams you will get a certification and an Open Badge. Furthermore, Minor can be recognised in the elective course section of your Bachelor’s Degree.

Objectives and contents

The Minor aims to analyse the impact of digital innovation on the world of work, focusing on the possible use of new technologies for environmental, economic and social sustainability. Digital technologies and globalization have in fact expanded the spaces of the economy, creating great opportunities for development, but also increasing uncertainty, inequality and different critical issues inside and outside the workplace. The aim of the course is therefore to provide the tools to analyse the challenges and opportunities that businesses, professionals and institutions face in managing digital transformation. At the end of the course, students will understand the main economic and legal problems that new technologies pose to the organisation of work, but also how businesses, institutions and communities can direct digital transformation to encourage more sustainable and inclusive development.
