Master’s Degree in Engineering for the Environment and Territory

The Master's Degree in Engineering for the Environment and Territory is offered by the University of Florence, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICEA). It offers two distinct curricula: Environmental Protection and Territory and Resources. The study plan includes compulsory and optional courses, modelling, environmental technologies, sustainable resource management, a professional internship and the final examination. 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 and is full-time and in person in Florence. The language is Italian, with an English level of CEFR B2 required. The training internship takes place at companies, public bodies or research laboratories.

The aim is to train professionals able to face contemporary environmental challenges with interdisciplinary analysis, advanced engineering methodologies and the management of territorial risks and natural resources. Career opportunities include public bodies, private companies, consulting firms and research laboratories, with roles at national and international level. 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.
