Master’s Degree in Sustainable Environmental and Landscape Management

The Master's Degree in Sustainable Environmental and Landscape Management is offered by the University of Catania, Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment (Di3A). The programme integrates environmental sciences, landscape design techniques and digital tools such as GIS. It includes environmental, landscape and architectural courses, as well as optional subjects chosen by the student and the economic valuation of the environment. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years, full-time and in person in Catania. The language of instruction is Italian, while knowledge of English at B2 level is required for admission. The programme ends with an experimental thesis.

The aim is to train professionals able to manage environmental conservation, land redevelopment and sustainable design. Career opportunities are environmental protection bodies, design firms, farms, consulting and public administration. The degree allows registration with the registers of architects, agronomists, forestry graduates and surveyors. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
