Master in International Cooperation for Project Design, Management and Administration.

Program Presentation

Within the projects area, those related to “International Cooperation” are without a doubt those that lay out the day by day demands, not only because of the variety of issues they handle, but the diversity of professionals that call for it as well.

The purpose to every international cooperation project is to contribute some benefit to society, in other words, make people’s life better. This is and should be the main objective of the entire project, since the field of international cooperation has an indisputable and greater prominence.

International cooperation currently increases its presence within a globalized and multicultural society. This last is now a socio-political, economic and organizational sector that receives more and more attention and concern from international and local organizations, both public and private, making multinationals and governments, and even NGOs and local foundations, key players of international cooperation.

This “new” scenario demands an increasing effort to professionalize the sector, so that all participating sectors increase their commitments to carry out projects that reduce the inequalities occurring in today's society.

The Master in International Cooperation for Project Design, Management and Administration addresses this commitment by defining International Cooperation as the set of resources and possibilities that individuals/organizations, who need to increase their possibilities of progress and economic and socio-organizational growth, request other individuals/organizations who can cover and are willing to facilitate them.

Given this perspective, a Cooperation Project that creates mutually favorable proposals / solutions is necessary.

The Master in International Cooperation for Project Design, Management and Administration arises from the demand for professionalization in the sector with a real and specific vision of International Cooperation, understanding that training must respond to the following characteristics:

Individual, theoretical and academic training, with the support of Universities from different countries, to prepare professionals who broaden their space of action and learn about new contents that enable them to become integrated into the development of a project.
Group, methodological and practical training, with the support of international professional institutions (IPMA), said pioneers in "Management", to add innovative training models with a purely practical approach, where knowledge is immediately applied in the development / design of a real project.

The Master in International Cooperation for Project Design, Management and Administration is structured with a balanced content, ranging from a general context and theory of cooperation to the organizational, financial-economic, and human relations aspects of international cooperation projects under a single dual approach that favors, on the one hand, the project’s integral character in its Design, Management and Administration phases, and on the other hand, ITC support and sustenance, and cooperative and collaborative work and management models.

Who is the programme for?

The Master in International Cooperation for Project Design, Management and Administration is aimed at people interested in international cooperation with or without experience. We consider all professionals to be suitable, due to the characteristics of a project, which may require the participation of diverse professionals.

The Master has its own methodology that integrates professionals, providing them the tools that they may need to become part of those teams in the development and administration of a project.

The meticulous training methodology of the international cooperation projects employed in the master’s degree, prepares students to perform in similar positions of general cooperation. For this reason, those interested in the program are expected to be motivated toward executive roles in companies, NGOs, governments, foundations or cooperation agencies, without excluding national or international private companies or organizations that also develop or are interested in developing cooperative activities.

It is also important to note that the Master's degree enables students to apply for international certifications (IPMA / AGP / OCIA) who provide highly recognized international professional status at when applying for international cooperation projects.

Each is divided into basic thematic units or chapters, directly related to one or more of a practical exercise and includes theoretical support material and personalized follow-up by the area tutor. Because the development / design stage of an project allows for corrections, the student will not be able to pass by subject until the last moment, but will be approved once the complete module has been completed, at which time each of the subjects will be graded.

Once the Project Design module is completed and approved, the student may apply to take the international IPMA Level D Certification exam, sponsored by FUNIBER / AGPA. At the close of the Design module, the tutor in charge will inform the student about the registration procedure and the exam dates for certification.

2^nd PART: MANAGEMENT

The second part of Management develops all the component areas of the Management of an International Cooperation Project and their scope. It aims to provide a deep and complete vision of all the possible issues to manage when conceiving an international cooperation project, focusing on achieving and producing a solution for the benefit of all stakeholders regardless of the project type or its purpose. It also aims to inform students of all the tools currently existing in the market to carry out this activity. This second part provides the knowledge for fulfilling the training standards as established by the IPMA, the AEIPRO and the PMI.
