The Master's Degree in Environmental and Land Engineering is offered by the University of Catania, Department of Civil, Industrial Engineering and Architecture. The programme addresses environmental monitoring, waste and wastewater management, soil protection, remediation of contaminated sites, adaptation to climate change and sustainable development. 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. Access is not limited and no selective test is required.

The aim is to train specialists for land protection and environmental management projects in the public and private sectors. Career opportunities include engineering firms, construction companies, environmental management bodies and research centres, with roles in the design of hydraulic works, wastewater and waste management, monitoring and site remediation. 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.
