Training programme
The Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering for Risk Mitigation is structured on two levels:
- Core training in Environmental and Land Engineering;
- Complementary training in chemical, ecological, hydraulic, and legislative fields.
The courses offered within the program aim to provide up-to-date and specialized skills, enabling graduates to develop technological innovations and to study, design, plan, and manage engineering interventions in complex systems. These interventions focus on preventing natural and anthropogenic risks and enhancing community resilience to critical events.
The courses are grouped into five learning areas:
- Fundamental knowledge enhancement
- Specialized and design-oriented training in hydrogeological risk mitigation
- Specialized and design-oriented training in environmental protection
- Specialized and design-oriented training in territorial analysis and management
- Autonomy and responsibility development
The first learning area strengthens students’ foundational knowledge by providing theoretical and practical tools for core environmental engineering disciplines.
The second learning area equips students with the necessary skills for designing various types of hydrogeological risk mitigation measures and extreme event prevention strategies.
The third learning area focuses on environmental quality by providing an in-depth understanding of environmental quality parameters, the design of water treatment and purification plants, and urban waste management. Additionally, students will acquire the tools for conducting different types of environmental impact assessments.
The fourth learning area is dedicated to territorial analysis and management, equipping students with knowledge of modern remote sensing techniques for land surveying and planning tools for the sustainable and responsible use of land resources.
The fifth learning area emphasizes the practical application of the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous four areas. This is achieved through hands-on laboratory experiments, internships in companies, and the final thesis project
