Structure of the Study Programme
The study programme is structured over 120 ECTS credits and organised in two academic years, in order to provide advanced and specialised training. It integrates compulsory, elective, and free-choice courses to develop technical and methodological skills in the main areas of environmental and territorial engineering.
During the first year, a significant portion of credits is devoted to professional subjects representing the traditional competences of environmental engineers, complementing and expanding the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor’s Degree. Teaching methods combine lectures with individual or group exercises.
The second year focuses on specialised fields, where technical, technological, and managerial aspects are deepened, preparing students to operate effectively in the assessment, planning, design, implementation, management, and monitoring of processes and works. Project activities, both specialised and multidisciplinary, train engineers to tackle complex challenges such as environmental management of enterprises, remediation, evaluation and reduction of pollutant emissions, management of infrastructures and strategic construction sites, territorial protection, risk mitigation, emergency management, climate change adaptation, and territorial governance through effective environmental policies.
This organisation ensures that students acquire in-depth and integrated knowledge, enabling them to apply their competences in real and multidisciplinary contexts, thus preparing them for successful professional careers in environmental engineering.
The programme offers several opportunities to enhance practical training and transversal competences, including:

• Practical and numerical exercises, preparation of technical or design reports, or thematic in-depth analyses;
• Laboratory activities: students may attend advanced laboratories offering opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in experimental and practical contexts, thus developing concrete technical and methodological skills;
• Internships: students may carry out internships in public institutions, private companies, or international organisations, representing an opportunity to establish direct contact with the professional world and apply the skills acquired during the programme;
• Transversal skills: students may attend courses aimed at enhancing competences such as project management, effective communication, and teamwork.

The programme allows for a high degree of flexibility, enabling students to personalise their study path by selecting among different curricula and elective courses. This approach allows both in-depth study of specific areas of interest and broader training across multiple disciplines, ensuring comprehensive and tailored preparation. One curriculum is taught entirely in English, as part of the course’s internationalisation strategy.
The programme is designed in compliance with European standards, ensuring full alignment of the learning objectives with the Dublin Descriptors.
Curricula
The study programme is organised into three curricula:

• A – Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (taught in English)
• B – Environmental Protection
• C – Land Protection

The programme spans two academic years: the first year is devoted to the core preparation of each curriculum, while the second year includes specialised subjects, other activities useful for professional integration, and preparation of the Master’s thesis. For each curriculum, students are required to select 12 ECTS credits of free-choice courses.
Teaching and learning methods adopted to achieve the expected learning outcomes include lectures and classroom exercises, laboratory activities and fieldwork, project activities, technical visits, and seminars.
The detailed structure of each curriculum is set out in the Manifesto degli Studi (Study Manifesto).
