Second cycle degree course
Links condivisione social
The bilingual Master’s Degree Program aims to train professionals with advanced interdisciplinary knowledge in the following areas: environmental management based on the principles of sustainable development; the sustainable use of Earth’s resources, including energy supply sources; and the understanding and modelling of planet Earth, including the disturbances caused by human activities, as a necessary basis for guiding the sustainable development of society.
These objectives are part of the broader framework of the ecological and energy transition, which is at the centre of national and international attention and of the UN 2030 Agenda.
The Degree Program takes part in the Lauree Magistrali Plus – LM Plus project.
