Masters

The core of CIHEAM Bari educational activity is the organization of Master courses for young students from CIHEAM country members and over. There is the option to follow 1-year programs (60 ECTS credits), with the delivery of a CIHEAM Bari Master diploma, and 2-years programs (120 ETCS credits), that include the completion of a research thesis, to gain the CIHEAM Master of Science diploma.

We host yearly a vibrant community of students from different countries, actively engaged on their studies, practical works, social activities. Only a limited number of applicants is admitted to our courses, after examination of their applications and evaluation of profiles through on-line interviews (academic board). Most of the students get a full board scholarship.

Courses are organized by our scientific administrators, who have matured their competencies through multiple years-activity in the field of research and cooperation. Each course has its own governing board, who take care of the contents, teaching approaches and students’ tutoring. Programs are organized through the contributions of experts from different countries and organizations, from research, governmental and non-governmental institutions, private actors. Field visits, lab activities, individual and team projects are key part of the programs aimed to develop students’ skills and competencies.
