Course structure

The program allows each student to build their own path, without compromising the characteristics of a professional master's program.

The MPGC consists of 450 hours (30 credits), of which 120 hours (8 credits) are common subjects. It is compulsory for students to take Evidence-Based Management, offered at SNOC, and Trends for Competitiveness, in a face-to-face format.

Students must take a further 75 hours (5 credits) of common subjects and can choose from Negotiation and Communication, Leadership and Change Management, Anti-Corruption Governance and Compliance and Sustainability and Innovation. In addition to these five options, students can take any master's course offered at FGV EAESP in the MPGI, MPA, MPGPP, CMCD, School of Quantitative Methods, Winter School and GNAM SNOC programs to complete the 75 hours (5 credits) of common subjects.

210 hours (14 credits) have been allocated to the specific subjects of each line of research. Within these hours, 60 hours are allocated to Applied Work Seminar (AT) courses. Students also have the flexibility of completing up to 30 hours (2 credits) from the pool of elective courses offered by the MPGC or other FGV EAESP programs.

The student must also develop an Applied Paper (TA) in the form of a scientific article supervised by one of the Program's professors, equivalent to 90 hours (6 credits). This structure is described in the figure below:

 

sustainability disciplines

Training path

The Line's mission is to create the conditions for leaders to emerge who are aware of and engaged with themselves, with others and with the whole - leaders with sensitivity, practical intelligence and a solid theoretical foundation in sustainability - capable of acting strategically in complex systems, respecting planetary limits, tackling social inequalities and reinventing organizations and economies centred on people and good living.

Understand the route
Training path

The training path of the MPGC Sustainability Line has been structured to promote coherence and depth over the three semesters of the course.

Each semester broadens and integrates learning, linking theory, practice and experiences that invite new reflections.

1st semester - Science, Knowledge and Ethics of Sustainability - Focused on broadening awareness, it proposes a reconstruction of the view of sustainability, exploring planetary limits, the climate emergency and multiple forms of knowledge.

2nd semester - Organizations in Transition: between current models and desirable futures - Aimed at transforming practices, it analyses consumer dilemmas, production chains and possibilities for organizational innovation, always with a critical and systemic eye.

Semester 3 - Territories, Justice and Sustainability in Practice - Concretizes learning through field experience. It is a call for listening and co-responsibility, discussing socio-environmental justice, urban adaptation and the role of leaders in building shared paths.

This path is anchored in innovative methodologies, such as Integrated Training, which combines the Self Project Self Project (PSM): A self-reflective and experiential process that aims to develop people who are more aware of and engaged with themselves and their relationship with others and the whole, and the Reference Project Reference Project (PR): Real Sustainability Challenges that are applied in groups throughout each semester. The course ends with Sustainability in the Field, which integrates the lessons learned into a concrete and critical experience.

The master's degree has made a big difference in my day-to-day work, in the way I develop products within the company. I work in an urban and environmental policy consultancy, and the MPGPP brought me a lot of knowledge; a wide range of knowledge so that I could apply this knowledge in practice.
