Specific admission requirements

Italian First cycle qualification (Laurea) or foreign equivalent in the same or related subject area, with possible extra work if required competences are lacking.

Evaluation of specific subject knowledge on entry

Admission to the course of study requires possession of curricular requirements, as specified under point a1 and a2, and of adequate personal preparation, as specified under point b, and knowledge of English with a level of at least B1. The required curricular requirements are represented by the previous acquisition of: a1) at least 40 ECTS in the Disciplinary Scientific Sectors (SSD) relating to the basic training activities of the Degree Class L-7 pursuant to Ministerial Decree 270/2004; a2) at least 72 ECTS in the Scientific Disciplinary Sectors (SSD) relating to the training activities characterizing the Degree Class L-7 pursuant to Ministerial Decree 270/2004. Only ECTS acquired with specific profit checks are useful for assessing curricular requirements and ECTS acquired only on the basis of assessments of certified professional knowledge and skills are excluded. b) Adequate personal preparation is required on the methods and contents of the basic scientific disciplines and of the disciplines characterizing the Degree Class L-7. In particular, defined with MP1 the Weighted Average of the marks obtained in the SSD teachings referred to in point a1) and with MP2 the Weighted Average of those in the SSD teachings referred to in point a2), the student's personal preparation is assessed: adequate, if MP1 = 20/30 and MP2 = 22/30; not adequate, in all other cases. The verification of the specified admission requirements is carried out at the time of submission of the enrollment application. Students who do not meet the curricular requirements specified in point a1 and a2 cannot be admitted to the course of study. In order to be admitted, students with inadequate preparation pursuant to point b must pass a test aimed at ascertaining the level of competence and knowledge achieved on certain basic disciplines and characterizing the Degree Class L-7. The test will be carried out before the start of the teaching activities of the first semester and in any case before the deadline for submitting the enrollment application. The course of study, if necessary, will prepare recovery activities to prepare students for passing the test. The detailed calendar of the test and any recovery activities will be included in the space dedicated to the course of study on the web page of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (http://www.ing1.unipg.it/). Foreign students are required to take a test to verify their proficiency of the Italian language, except Erasmus Incoming students, Exchange Students and students in mobility as per the Cooperation Agreement

Profile of the programme

The Master of Science in Environmental and Territory Engineering aims to train professionals with a solid theoretical-scientific and application-methodological preparation both in the basic disciplines of engineering and in those characterizing environmental engineering. The training course is structured so that specific skills and abilities are acquired to identify, formulate and solve complex problems in an innovative way that require an interdisciplinary approach to the design, planning, implementation and management of works or systems for controlling and monitoring the environment and of the territory and protection of environmental resources.

Programme learning outcomes

Graduates will acquire the following skills: complete mastery of mathematics and basic engineering sciences; in-depth knowledge of environmental engineering issues; ability to identify, formulate and solve complex problems in an innovative way; ability to design and manage highly complex experiments; ability to use the English language fluently in written and oral form with reference also to disciplinary lexicons.

Qualification requirements and regulations

Admission to the final test for the achievement of the qualification will require that the student has acquired all the credits foreseen in the study plan for training activities other than the final test. The final test consists in the drafting and subsequent discussion of a thesis by the student, developed in an original way under the guidance of one or more supervisors, one of whom is a professor or researcher of the University.

Examination regulations and grading scale

The assessment is carried out by means of an oral and / or written exam.The assessment of the disciplinary exams is expressed in thirtieths (scale 0-30), the minimum mark is 18/30 and the maximum mark is 30/30. Honors (30 cum laude) can be added to the maximum mark if the quality of the exam is considered excellent. The evaluation of the final qualification is expressed in hundred and tenths (scale 0-110), the minimum mark is 66/110 and the maximum mark is 110/110. "Honors" (110 cum laude) may be added to the maximum mark if decided unanimously by the Examining Commission.

Obligatory or optional mobility windows

The placement foreseen by the Manifesto of the modules / courses in the semesters is indicative and can be changed in relation to the organization and definition of the lesson timetable.

Work-based learning

Internships are foreseen at Bodies / Companies with which the Department has entered into specific agreements with the recognition of 1 ECTS for 25 hours of activity; internship periods abroad at Bodies / Companies / Universities regulated by international Framework Agreements, University notices such as the Erasmus + Mobility Call for Traineeship, with a recognition of 5 ECTS for each month of internship are as well foreseen.

Occupational profiles of graduates

The main employment opportunities provided for Graduates of this Degree are: • professional firms and engineering companies as designers; • public administrations as framework employees / officials / managers.
