Career Field
The Sustainability research area of the Professional Master’s in Management for Competitiveness program presents an innovative educational approach that works on logical connections and integration between various topics related to sustainability, rather than looking at each topic in isolation, as occurs in the professional world.
Two main areas are worked on through the “Integrated Education for Sustainability” subject:
- Group Project: Real sustainability challenges that are explored in a group throughout each semester.
- Individual Project: Self-reflection and experiential process that aims to develop people who are more aware and engaged with themselves, others and everything.
There are also field trips, immersions that provide contact with regional circumstances, and the opportunity to experience the complexity of sustainability (experiential reasoning).
Inspired by Integrated Sustainability Education (FIS), an FGV EAESP undergraduate subject, the master’s program was developed by GVces professors and researchers with cutting-edge knowledge in the area and in collaboration with FGV’s Center for the Development of Teaching and Learning (CEDEA), to incorporate the latest methodologies for designing innovative educational and teaching programs. The result is a program that is unique in its conception and design, in which subjects are experienced in three units that include a trajectory management subject (On the Job) and Sustainability Center events.
Flexibility
The program allows each student to determine his or her own trajectory, but without undermining the characteristics of a professional master’s program, as illustrated in the following table.
The master’s course is composed of 390 hours (26 credits), and 90 of these hours (6 credits) are MPGC shared subjects. Students must take the Methodology of Scientific Problems subject, offered in SNOC format. They must also take another 60 hours (4 credits) of shared subjects, choosing between Negotiation and Communication, Leadership and Change Management, and Management for Competitiveness and Innovation (SNOC). In addition to these three options, students may take any master’s subject offered at FGV EAESP as part of the MPGI, MPA, MPGPP, CMCD, Winter School and SNOC-GNAM programs, to make up 60 hours (4 credits) of shared subjects.
Regarding specific subjects in the finance and controllership area, 300 hours (20 credits) are allocated. Using this time, students may do up to 60 hours (4 credits) in the pool of subjects offered on the list
