The curriculum in Economics provides a general formation in the fields listed above. The curriculum in Sustainable Development includes a wide variety of advanced courses aiming at developing a deep understanding of each dimension of sustainability, with a focus on market-based tools and public policies, which can be adopted to facilitate the ecological transition path.
