The School of Economics and Management, which coordinates teaching activities in several study programs including the MSc in Economics and Development, has established a Joint Student-Faculty Committee, with Italian acronym CPDS.

The CPDS consists of one instructor and one student representative for each study program of the School. Every year, in autumn it produces a report on each program, examining its educational offerings and identifying areas for improvement regarding, for instance, student orientation, teaching quality, career guidance. The governing bodies of each program are required to address the CPDS's recommendations with specific actions meant to reduce or eliminate the weaknesses which have been identified .
