The Master's aims to train experts in the field of diversity management, equity and inclusion in a wide range of public and private work contexts, including the field of human resources.
The participants will learn to create, design and implement actions and policies that aim to promote equity and valorize differences, as well as combating and preventing discrimination of any kind.
The master's degree adopts an intersectional approach in which equity policies and gender differences are analysed in their intertwining with other identity aspects that cross societies, cultures and relationships between individuals even within professional contexts.
