Since 1990, over 2,000 participants from all around the world have obtained postgraduate qualifications and Masters’ degrees through the Turin School of Development.
The programmes of the Turin School of Development are implemented thanks to the generous support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy and of the “Compagnia di San Paolo” of Turin.
The School is fully embedded into the training programmes offered by the International Turin Centre of the ILO and for each Master Programme the comparative advantage of the Centre as a global knowledge hub, combined with regional and national expertise, is further enhanced. In this context, I would like to mention the research cluster and the Ph.D. Programme launched by the School in cooperation with the ILO and selected universities, which is attracting more and more attention.
TSD graduates may apply to international organizations, UN agencies and the private sector. The Masters’ courses are designed to impart the full spectrum of skills required to deal effectively with the challenges facing today’s development professionals in their pursuit of social and economic progress, while preserving the living environment for future generations.
