Courses in Environment

The environment is now at the centre of public policy, corporate strategy and citizens' choices. Master's programmes in Environment train professionals able to assess, prevent and manage the impacts of human activities on ecosystems, and to guide companies and institutions towards more sustainable development models, in line with European climate neutrality goals and the 2030 Agenda.

The programmes include environmental sciences, environmental impact assessment, waste management, circular economy, remediation of contaminated sites, water resource management, air quality, climate change, ISO 14001 environmental management systems, environmental law, industrial ecology, ESG and sustainability reporting. Lessons combine theory, fieldwork, data analysis and real cases, with experts from environmental agencies, universities and companies.

A master's in Environment lets you develop skills in collecting and interpreting environmental data, writing studies and authorisation applications, managing corporate environmental systems, planning mitigation and adaptation measures and communicating environmental performance. You learn to engage with public bodies, local communities and companies, finding balanced, evidence-based solutions.

Career opportunities include environmental consultant, environment and safety manager, sustainability manager, technician in environmental agencies, waste management expert, remediation expert, environmental auditor, circular economy expert and ESG manager. Opportunities exist in industries, consulting firms, environmental services companies, public bodies, environmental protection agencies, NGOs and international organisations.

Growing attention to sustainability, supported by increasingly strict European regulations, is creating structural demand for environmental skills in every type of organisation.

Many programmes offer internships and projects with companies and environmental agencies, to put what you have learned into practice straight away and build a professional network.

A master's in Environment is suitable both for graduates in scientific and engineering disciplines and for graduates in economics and law interested in corporate sustainability.
