MASTER
The "One Health" Master's degree, structured in the prestigious Scuola Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SSAS) of the Sapienza University of Rome and promoted by the National Biodiversity Future Center (NBFC) research center, is aimed at undergraduates and graduates and young graduates and master's graduates who they want to have a say in the political, legislative and healthcare choices that public and private organizations will be called upon to face in the coming years. The Master's also offers a growth opportunity to people who already have a job but want to update their managerial skills and facilitate development and change paths.
One Health
After the pandemic, there has been widespread awareness that the health of the planet, of animals, of plants and human beings are strongly interconnected. This is also why public discourse increasingly refers to the concept of One Health: an integrated and unifying system that aims to balance and optimize health in its various aspects sustainably. This means relating, from a perspective of interdisciplinary understanding, different fields such as biodiversity, politics as scientific diplomacy, bio- marketing and the bio- economy, as well as naturally the health sector in the strict sense.
Objective
The objective of the Master is therefore to train experts who can deal with different interlocutors, encouraging transdisciplinarity and the meeting between scientific knowledge and political-institutional realities. The integration of skills is today a fundamental aspect of the implementation of "One Health" policies: for this reason, the Master's degree involved teachers from different disciplinary and professional fields, professors from Sapienza and the School of Advanced Studies, professionals in marketing and communications experts, national and international politics experts, scientists and economists from the CNR and the National Biodiversity Future Center.
Training
In particular, the Master is structured into 8 thematic modules which will take place one week a month, from February to October (excluding August). In addition to lectures, the modules will include workshops and round tables with guests of national and international prestige. Finally, to enter the world of work, Master's students will be asked to conduct an internship during which they will get to know new job placement realities. Skills will thus be acquired to become professional figures sought after by public and private institutions dealing with policies, marketing, and research from a One-Health perspective.
5 scholarships are available to cover the entire registration fee, awarded at the end of the master's degree.
