Master’s Degree in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering

The master's degree in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering trains engineers able to analyse and manage environmental and territorial phenomena. The curriculum includes the quantitative analysis of environmental phenomena, the design of sustainable interventions, soil protection and natural resource management, environmental remediation technologies, environmental monitoring and diagnostics and the One Health approach, which considers the health of the environment, animals and people in an integrated way. Study plans are customisable, with specialisation options. The Italian territory is exposed to risks such as landslides, floods and pollution, and the programme prepares engineers able to study phenomena with quantitative tools, to design sustainable interventions for soil protection and natural resource management and to assess the effectiveness of remediation technologies and monitoring systems.

The programme lasts two years and is held in person in Milan, with international options. It is offered in Italian and English and fully English-taught tracks are available. Admission requires a degree in engineering or an equivalent discipline, with adequate preparation in the basic subjects of engineering; for graduates of other universities, a check of curricular requirements and of personal preparation is provided. The page does not state the credits, the specific modules, the teaching methodology, information on internships and placement, the start dates and deadlines, the number of places or the cost, which is not made public. The One Health approach considers the health of the environment, animals and people in an integrated way, and makes it possible to tackle problems such as water and air quality, soil contamination and the effects of climate change with a broad vision, which requires collaboration between engineering, life sciences and health disciplines.

The aim is to train professionals for environmental protection and land management. The professions mentioned include environmental consultant, technical and managerial roles in the public and private sectors and research and innovation roles. The qualification makes it possible to sit the State examination for registration in the Register of Engineers. The programme is suited to those who wish to work on topics such as hydrogeological risk, water and waste management, the remediation of contaminated sites and the ecological transition, in companies, engineering firms, public bodies and research centres. The possibility of customising the study plan, together with the availability of a track entirely in English and of international options, makes it possible to build a profile suited to different professional fields, from environmental consulting to the design of works, from research to a career in public administrations and in companies that manage environmental services.
