In order to fulfill the master requirements, students have to choose one of the following:

a. Internship:
Students will have the chance to join one of the international master’s corporate or education partners for an internship. Thanks to its global network, the Master will offer its brightest students internship opportunities in various places (e.g., Rabat, Bruxelles, Milan, Rome), at leading research, financial institutions and consulting firms.
The internship is recommended for students that are not yet professional and are interested in understanding the new opportunities that Sustainable Development Goals’ implementation could open to them;
 

b. Project Work:
Students will be asked to work on a task-based assignment. The Project Work addresses real business/social/environmental issues and will be realized in collaboration with a sponsor company. The project is recommended for students that are already professional and want to apply their new knowledge to projects that are internal to their work;
Over the years, Internships have been organized with worldwide leading private, national and international organizations in the fields of corporate sustainability, finance, energy and environment. Some conventions activated:
Candriam, CMCC, WFP, VIGEO, FEEM, Impact Tools, Hub Humanitaire, Enel, RES4AFRICA, Generalitata de Catalunya, UNCCD, Unidroit, FEEM, UNICEF, Yemen UN Youth Council, Unicredit and Nobel Foundation

c. Thesis/Research Project:
Students undertaking the Thesis or Research Project need to prepare a research paper on an advanced SDG related topic. The project is compulsory for both student and professionals. The project can be realized in collaboration with a sponsor company.
The Master’s international partners are keen on talking with you about job opportunities (internship or full time employment) and the Master's career service will connect you with a wide range of international players. The Master in Management of Sustainable Development Goals can rely on a dedicated career service team whose mission is to support Master’s students in their job search.
