Executive courses

The executive courses of the University of Milan are continuous professional development pathways, geared towards workers who are looking to strengthen, update or expand their knowledge and skills. As hands-on and flexible training opportunities, these courses are designed to bring higher education closer to the practical needs of organisations and professions.

Who are they for? Professionals, managers, executives and young people wishing to kickstart their career.

Objectives and organisation

Our executive courses aim to provide advanced expertise in specialised or strategic fields, fostering professional innovation and dialogue between industry and academia. They are usually divided into modules and can be delivered in person, remotely or in blended-learning mode, so as to facilitate participation for those who are already working.

Key features

  • Flexible, modular and practice-oriented training
  • Content tailored to specific training needs
  • Collaboration opportunities with public and private partners
  • Classes taught by university lecturers and external experts
  • Mandatory attendance

End-of-course certificate

At the end of the course, participants who have met the minimum attendance requirements will receive the course certificate and may also receive an Open Badge to include in their CV.
