The 2nd cycle degree course in Environmental Sciences aims to train professionals of high qualification and specialization capable to intervene with multidisciplinary expertise in the prevention, diagnosis and solution of environmental problems, even assuming direct responsibility for projects and facilities.
The objectives of the educational activities for students are directed to:
- Provide a systemic in-depth cultural training with respect to the environment and a good grasp of the scientific method, also in view of a possible access to PhD courses;
- Create the ability to identify and organize the interactions of the various factors involved in the complex environmental processes, systems and problems;
- Build the ability to apply a variety of methodologies for the understanding and control of complex environmental situations as well as for the design of environmental restoration and remediation actions;
- Provide the knowledge to assess environmental resources and formulate hypotheses for land management and planning and for environmental conservation, also incorporating environmental variables with the regulatory systems and the economic logic.
As part of the systemic training necessary to achieve the overall objectives , which is carried out through the integrated knowledge of the biological, chemical, environmental, physical, mathematical disciplines, earth science, legal and economic evaluation.
The educational program provides theoretical, methodological , experimental and applied competences for the analysis of environmental systems and processes and for the promotion of the quality of the environment.
Considerable space is devoted to the preparation of the thesis , which involves an interdisciplinary and experimental work and can be carried out in collaboration with external public or private facilities.
