The Professional Master’s Programme in Global Economics and Social Affairs - GESAM aims to promote a new generation of leaders and professionals in the global arena. These professionals, working in various fields such as public and private enterprises, international organisations, non-governmental organisations, and public administrations will possess broad expertise in economics and social/labour law matters. They will also have a deep understanding of economic phenomena associated with globalisation and its impact on social issues. The programme emphasises the belief that economic and social progress should go hand in hand, and that social progress should be intentionally planned, rather than being a natural byproduct of economic advancement.

The shift towards competitiveness over cooperation is becoming more apparent. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has further influenced this shift, affecting the development of society, technology, work and infrastructure. The implications for individuals and communities on a cultural and mental level are still being processed.

The Executive Master in Quantum Machine Learning delves into the exploration and study of quantum computing from various perspectives. It is based on a modern approach to computing that relies on the principles of quantum mechanics. In contrast to traditional computing, which utilises bits (zeros or ones) to encode and process information, quantum computing harnesses the properties of quantum physics, such as superposition of quantum states and entanglement. The key advantage of quantum computing lies in its ability to efficiently tackle problems that are challenging for traditional computing in terms of both hardware resources and calculation times required.
