DIES offers three undergraduate degree courses, four graduate degree courses, a doctoral program, and six master's programs. DIES aims to enhance doctoral programs as an academic and professional training school of international value, expand the offer of master's programs as flexible market and market-oriented tools, innovate and qualify laboratory activities and active teaching.
