Programme coordinator

"This programme builds on Ca’ Foscari’s strong tradition of business studies centred on sustainability. We train professionals with integrated skills who can confidently navigate the economic and social context, promote innovation from a sustainable development perspective, and address the managerial challenges of the future. These skills are vital for creating long-term value in any organisation. Start your career with us!"

Hands-on experience and innovative teaching

“A key strength of the Management and Sustainability programme is its close connection with organisations and businesses. The main teaching activities are complemented by seminars and guest lectures from external experts who share their professional experience in the classroom, encouraging discussion among lecturers and students on business cases and vital current topics related to the transition of companies and public institutions.
Each year, VSM organises Experior projects [ITA] – innovative teaching initiatives that enable students to engage directly with the real world of work, applying the knowledge and skills learned in class under the supervision of faculty and business mentors.”
