Conceived jointly with the University of Bologna (Ravenna campus), the Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) “Transitions and innovations in territories in Europe: environment and post-anthropocene landscapes” is a unique course. It offers its listeners the acquisition of skills and knowledge necessary for the conduct of territorial innovation projects in Europe, focusing on the “commons” and landscapes, in the context of the “anthropocene”.
It is the first European course to train managers of public institutions, associations and companies to analyse, anticipate and influence the fundamental changes of the Anthropocene:
- climate change
- collapse of biodiversity
- digital revolution
- demographic upheaval
- social exclusion
This course is intended for auditors originating from countries of the European Union and the neighborhood of the Union, with initial training at master’s level or equivalent professional experience, coming from various academic backgrounds (law, geography , town planning, architecture, engineering, digital sciences, management, public management, human and social sciences, political sciences, European affairs, educational sciences, languages, etc.).
The Master of Advanced Studies cycle comprises modules combining formal teaching and operational applications, as well as tutored personal work for a total value of 60 ECTS.
At the end of the diploma course, holders of the Master of Advanced Studies from the European College of Cluny are able to exercise professional responsibilities or an elective mandate in charge of territorial innovation project manager or to lead a research-action project on the innovative care of “commons” and landscapes in Europe, as well as the conduct of societal transformations.
The course is sanctioned by a double recognition:

How to pay scolarity?
The European College of Cluny is supported by the regional Council of Bourgogne-Franche Comté, Hippocrène Foundation, Danielle Mitterand Foundation. That allows moderating the tuition fees. But financing could still represent an obstacle.
That is why we designed our programs to be compatible with a part-time professional activity. The European College can link anybody that wish to work with our local partners: health and social institutions, craft companies, manufacturing, agricultural companies, that are in search of working force, even in part-time. Apart from the income, this professional immersion is an additional ground experience, useful for the formation.
