Why choose this programme

The course in Management and Sustainability is among the few to integrate the topic of sustainability into the study of business management, both nationally and internationally. According to some of the most recent analyses of the labour market, companies increasingly require professionals with managerial skills hybridised with sustainability issues.

The Ca' Foscari Department of Management has a long tradition of sustainability and business administration studies. Professors explore topics connected to sustainable development, from a research standpoint as well as through the lens of the exchange with businesses.

Agreements with the Order of Chartered Accountants and Bookkeepers and the Order of Labour Consultants will also enable you to carry out a 6-month professional internship during your final year of the course.
