Objectives
THE COURSE COVERS THE MAIN TOPICS OF FEASIBILITY STUDY AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT, AS RATIONAL APPROACH OF ANALYSIS, ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF COMPLEX PROJECTS. SEVERAL TECHNIQUES ARE ILLUSTRATED, FROM PLANNING TO EXECUTING PROJECT, PLUS SOME DEEPENING ON PROJECT FINANCING AND RISK MANAGEMENT. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE TO THE STUDENTS A REFERENCE FRAMEWORK AND A SET OF TOOLS TO ANALYZE AND MAKE DECISION RELATED TO COMPLEX PROJECTS.

THE STUDENT, AT THE END OF THE COURSE, WILL HAVE ACQUIRED THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICAL SKILLS RELATED TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND THE ABILITY TO USE THE MAIN TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS TO MANAGE COMPLEX PROJECTS AND PERFORM FEASIBILITY STUDIES.
Students, by the end of the course, will know how to independently identify and set up the most suitable and effective methodological and technical approaches to achieve the objectives.
Students will know how to:
- communicate knowledge, ideas, problems and solutions clearly and unambiguously, using technical terminology appropriately and adapting modes of expression to the cultural and professional characteristics of the communication recipients;
- effectively using multimedia and communication tools.
Lastly, students will develop the skills of:
- study independently, effectively integrating acquired knowledge;
- effectively undertake higher-level educational pathways;
- cope with managerial careers that require a high capacity for updating and
a high degree of autonomy.
