The master's degree course in Environmental and Land Engineering is characterised by 

• a focus on the development of innovative and sustainable solutions
• a practical approach to teaching, as you will have the opportunity to tackle real engineering problems in course exercises 
• the focus on the local area, as you will be able to see first-hand technical solutions used in the local area, during multiple study visits
• the international environment: many international students attend the course and you too will be able to spend time abroad through the study, thesis research and postgraduate internship programmes. 

In this course you will acquire skills for the design of

• Interventions, Works and Infrastructures for land protection and water management

• Technologies for the protection and remediation of environmental matrices (air, water, soil)

• Sustainable Interventions, including in the context of conflicts over environmental resources.

You will also learn to 

• Understand the processes governing the interactions between the natural and built environment, including the effects of ongoing climate change. 

• To be able to use mathematical models and to critically interpret the results of numerical simulations.

• Speak and write in English in order to work in an international context, thanks to the language courses and the international context of the course.

• Develop transversal skills such as flexibility, communication and problem solving through various group work activities. 

In addition to classroom lectures, you will 

• carry out practical exercises in the laboratory and in the field

• undertake study visits in the area

• undertake many group projects.

Career Opportunities

Upon graduation, you will be able to find employment in the following areas

• Land protection: land development, conservation and restoration, water defence, development and regulation, environmental monitoring and civil protection

• Resource management: exploitation of surface and deep water resources, surface and groundwater remediation, urban hydraulic infrastructure

• Environmental protection: management and treatment of waste water, waste and gaseous pollutants, remediation of contaminated sites

• Environmental planning: protection, rehabilitation and improvement of environmental resources, environmental impact assessment, environmental and territorial management in the context of international cooperation.

• To practise the regulated profession of civil and environmental engineer, it is necessary to pass the state examination and be registered with the professional body.

Further Studies

During your Master's degree, you can enrol in TALETE, a professional training programme that runs in parallel with your studies and allows you to develop transversal skills that are increasingly in demand in the world of work.
