faculty prog. coordinator lecturers	Given the fact that the course concerns the global phenomenon of an increasingly urbanized word and mastering its challenges it goes without saying that both teaching locations  and students are international too. After all, this is one of the rationales why the MUNDUS URBANO course is taught in more than one country, and why fieldwork may be done in a third country or internships are featured in international cooperation agencies. Its evident that the faculty need to be international too and mostly familiar with international co-operation practices.

year 2 in italy
	Università di Roma ‘Tor Vergata’ in Rome
economics	Specialization: Development economics Università di Roma ‘Tor Vergata’ in Rome contributes components of the MESCI program ‘Master in Development Economics and International Co-operation’ – which is an international, English taught, post-graduate programme using an interdisciplinary methodology to development. It stands apart from other masters in this field in its practical approach to economic development, analysis of markets, institutions, and regulation by public and private agencies, in order to bridge the gap between academia and the workplace. It aims at training expertise in developing economics and in international cooperation. As an element of the double degree course it particularly responds to the frequently unsatisfied need for qualified economists in urban development cooperation projects. Students opting for studying their second year at Tor Vergata are encouraged also to attend the same course also for the fourth semester. This will imply structured class learning with a final exam instead of the master’s thesis. Tor Vergata should be chosen by second year students wishing to work in international urban project management in the future.
modules	The modules taught in the Tor Vergata course include: ► Pre-courses (compulsory): Mathematics Statistics Microeconomics Macroeconomics ►Quantitative methods ►Development economics“ ►Global Partnership in International Cooperation ►Planning sustainable development ►Macroeconomic Stability and International  Economic Integration   ►International development assistance ►The Ethical and Social Approach to Development ►Workshop on project and programme evaluation ►Seminars  (in Italian and English language)
