Acquire fundamental skills for the entrepreneurship of impact projects, and choose subjects from different knowledge areas according to the specific challenges of your initiative.
Through the Master’s program, students acquire basic knowledge in the development of impact projects such as indicators, systemic vision, participative design, leadership and sustainability. The students also select classes from other UMA Masters programs, which address the areas of business, architecture, education, law, agro-ecology and tourism. This gives students a solid foundation for the development of a socio-environmental project with the flexibility to acquire skills specific to the student’s initiative
To develop practical skills and applied knowledge, participants of the Master in Socio-environmental Projects develop an actual project throughout the program. Students may join the program with a project idea or develop it throughout the program.
The Students receive guidance to choose the most appropriate classes to meet the needs of their projects; and thus the students design the graduate program according to their particular case.
By participating in classess and with groups of different Masters programs, students acquire an interdisciplinary perspective and a greater capacity for autonomous learning, two crucial elements for the successful impact projects.
The differentiators in value of the program are:
- A strategic approach principally aimed at project design, rather than management them.
- Methodologies for the development and evaluation of socio-environmental projects.
- Design of a project throughout the Masters program.
- Self-design of the disciplinary curriculum through the selection of areas of specialization, according to the needs of students’ specific projects.
- The study of ecology and sustainability, both in terms of conceptual frameworks and practices and methods.
- Community learning process, based on dialogue and joint research between students and teachers to exchange experiences and lessons, as well as dialogue with project designers advanced in the exploration of sustainability in Mexico.
