Master in Safety Engineering

The master offers advanced training in the integrated management of safety in civil and industrial settings. The programme is organised in specialist modules that alternate theory and practice and include safety coordination, fire safety training aimed at recognition as a Fire Safety Professional, and the regulatory, technical and managerial skills needed to design and govern safety policies in organisations. Safety is treated as a strategic function, which requires the ability to anticipate risks, to design preventive measures and to coordinate the various figures involved in construction sites, plants and buildings.

Teaching lasts twelve months and comprises 1,500 hours in total. Attendance is compulsory and lessons are held in the afternoons and at weekends, in a part-time evening and weekend format that makes it possible to combine study with professional activity. The methodology includes theoretical lessons, practical applications and group work; intermediate assessments and a final exam are planned. At the end of the programme participants obtain the second-level university qualification, certification as a Safety Coordinator and fire safety training for recognition as a Fire Safety Professional. The page does not specify the credits, the language of instruction, presumably Italian, or the start date. Group work and practical applications make it possible to deal with situations typical of construction sites and production environments, developing skills in risk assessment, planning of interventions and communication with employers, workers and inspection authorities. The format with lessons in the afternoon and at weekends makes it possible for professionals who are already working to take part, while compulsory attendance and intermediate assessments ensure a structured and continuous programme.

The aim is to develop design, operational and innovation skills in safety policies. Related professions include safety analyst, safety coordinator, occupational safety expert, civil engineer, safety manager and risk prevention technician. The master is aimed at holders of master's or equivalent degrees, particularly in engineering and technical fields, who wish to obtain the certifications required by law and specialise in a sector where risk prevention, worker protection and fire protection are increasingly central for companies, professionals and administrations. The certifications obtained are an added value for those who intend to work as freelance professionals or hold positions of responsibility in construction companies, industries and prevention services.
