Background

The International Training Centre of the ILO, launched in October 1990, the postgraduate course on International Trade Law, in collaboration with the University Institute for European Studies (IUSE) and with the support of distinguished faculty from the University of Turin and other major European universities. The Program was presented at a special ceremony at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. [ citation needed ]

New multi-disciplinary programs were developed after the success of this first course, through the same approach, in collaboration with major international organizations like WIPO, UNESCO and UNCITRAL: in 2000 the Master in Management of Development and the Master of Law (LL.M) in Intellectual Property; in 2003 the Master in World Heritage and Cultural Projects for Development; in 2006 the Master in Public Procurement Management for Sustainable Development and the Master in Occupational Safety and Health. At last, in 2010 the Master In Applied Labour Economics for Development was funded.

TSD Strength

The intensive delivery through the optimal combination of distance learning with face-to-face learning meets the learning requirements of a European master's degree. This particular combination allows also workers to participate to the programs because the time involved for the face to face part is only 4 months. Moreover, some programs offer the possibility of an internship with one of our institutional UN or professional partners.” [2]

Masters

The TSD offers 7 master programs through a unique learning path.

Faculty

The faculty of the Turin School of Development is a mix of university professors, combined with leading practitioners from the UN system and key professional bodies. [3]
