How did you benefit from a specialising master after the completion of your university studies?

My master was a great experience for several reasons. First of all, it gave me a real international perspective. Studying in a multicultural environment helped me broaden my horizons, connect with people from all over the world, and develop skills that are useful in different markets.

Another key aspect was the hands-on experience with companies. Through real projects, collaborations with businesses, and internships, I had the chance to apply what I was learning directly in a professional setting. This made a huge difference in terms of practical skills and job market exposure.

The courses were also really interesting: the program was well-structured, with a great balance between theory and practice, taught by experienced professors and industry professionals. It wasn’t just about studying—it was about gaining real, applicable knowledge.

On top of that, the whole experience was incredibly stimulating. Being surrounded by ambitious students and experts, constantly challenged both academically and professionally, really pushed me to grow and stay motivated. It was intense, but it was also exciting and rewarding.

How did the master help you acquire tools that enabled you to apply the concepts of innovation, sustainability and entrepreneurship in your daily work challenges?  

The master gave me the tools to apply innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship in real-world challenges. It helped me develop a problem-solving mindset, approach business with a sustainable and strategic perspective, and think like an entrepreneur-identifying opportunities, assessing risks, and driving ideas forward. Through hands-on projects and direct collaboration with companies, I learned to turn concepts into action, making a real impact in my daily work.
