It is a programme with European identity which aims at transferring European values to the students’ training who will later get prominent positions in different continents in firms, universities, public administrations and NOGs. The internationalization is a basic pillar of the WOP-P Master’s Degree, emphasizing dialogue with other cultures and the completion of the Master’s thesis with systems of jointly supervision and the participation of different universities and the organization of internships in international contexts. The teaching staff who coordinates the WOP-P Master’s degree has been invited to international congresses in different parts of the world to explain this experience in training and development of students; and has published this experience in international books dedicated to training in excellence.
