14. Life below water

TEACHING

The University of Trieste teaching programmes contribute to Goal 14 with first degree courses, Master’s degree courses, doctorates and, in general, postgraduate programmes in, above all, the Department of Life Sciences

Of particular interest is:

• the Master’s course in “Global Change Ecology (Department of Life Sciences);

• the 2nd level specialised Master in “Sustainable Blue Growth”, organised in collaboration with the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics – OGS) and taught in English.

The Master Programme aims at enriching the didactic offer to young people living in the Mediterranean region, in the marine and maritime sector, in order to foster sustainable economic development and responsible growth, and to contribute in promoting employment in the so-called blue jobs sector, while at the same time striving to facilitate dialogue between Mediterranean countries, thanks to Science Diplomacy.
