Everything about our MSc
Aim
This study programme aims to provide a wealth of knowledge, skills and abilities combining the technical-engineering and biological dimensions of natural, environmental and land resources management, with a view to achieving ecological transition goals.
Main characteristics of the course
The course of study is centered on three areas of expertise, strongly interconnected:
- supporting policies to enhance and increase ecosystem services;
- developing landscape design and planning with nature-based solutions;
- monitoring and remediating the state of health of environmental compartments.
The MSc in Sustainable Natural Resource Management is strongly practice-oriented, as teaching activities are not made only of lectures but also of interdisciplinary practical laboratories. Over the two-year period of study, students allocate a minimum of 30 credits (ECTS) to laboratories. On top of this, 24 ECTS are devoted to the thesis project.
Students can choose at least two interdisciplinary practical laboratories from a list of six. The laboratories are about water and territory management, forests and soil management and restoration, environmental monitoring and remediation.
