1° Intensive Study Program

Urbino city of ISP 2024

Welcome to the 1st ISP

This ISP proposes new education packages and tools aimed to:

  • encourage the inclusion of sustainability issues in accounting curricula
  • stimulate accounting students ‘awareness about the need for sustainability in organisations
  • stimulate students’ ability to address sustainability challenges with a global and international perspective
  • prepare students for what they will encounter in their workplaces
  • foster students’ ability to reflect on their learning process and gain awareness of lessons learned and knowledge acquired.

During the ISP, students will interact within international groups and participate in educational activities, conducted in English, on various areas of accounting that include the topic of sustainability.

Four main teaching modules make up the ISPs program:

  • Disclosing Business Value Through Sustainability and ESG Reporting
  • Providing assurance on sustainability reports
  • Sustainability management accounting
