Open admission.
Quota reserved to non-EU students residing outside Italy: 30 seats, of which 10 are reserved for Chinese students living in China, under the Marco Polo Project.
Admission to the course requires a high school diploma or other equivalent and approved qualification obtained abroad.
Students must possess adequate knowledge of basic mathematics, abstraction skills and methodological rigour and at least level B1 proficiency in English.
There are compulsory checks of possession of these requirements. The procedures for checking academic requirements are indicated in the Course Regulations, published on the university website, which establishes the additional learning requirements (OFAs) to be achieved in the first year of the course if the initial requirements are not met.
More information on OFA for this programme is available on the webpage dedicated to the admission requirements.
Applicants with international qualification must have obtained a secondary school diploma after having completed at least 12 years of schooling. The preliminary evaluation of the qualification is mandatory. Procedures and deadlines are available on the dedicated online platform.
The Degree programme is designed to shape professionals with a strong interdisciplinary background and knowledge of processes, service management, production chains and plant engineering. This background knowledge is aligned with the standards required for the ecological transition, according to the new European consensus on environmental protection (“From words to action: how can EU policy drive sustainability transitions”, 2019; A European Green Deal).
The first year provides basic skills, with a strong foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry, followed by a more specialised second and third year, with subjects more specifically related to the environment, energy, ecology, chemical and process engineering, sustainable design and process life cycle analysis, environmental law, IT applied to the monitoring of production chains, and chemical and biochemical plant engineering.
The professional outlets are typical of junior engineers, pertaining to areas such as:
The Bachelor’s Degree programme allows students to acquire the necessary prerequisites to be admitted not only to the Master's degrees of the LM-35 Environmental and Land Engineering class, but also to the Master's degrees that the University currently offers: Environmental Sciences (class LM-75 – Environmental and Land Science and Technology) and Biotechnologies for Sustainable Development and the Environment (class LM-8 – Industrial Biotechnology).
The course is fully interdepartmental, leveraging expertise in the fields of environmental sciences, environmental engineering and computer sciences (Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics), industrial and green chemistry (Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems) and environmental law (in collaboration with Department of Economics).
The course also benefits from the collaboration with the IUAV University of Venice to offer expertise in civil law.
The programme includes an internship, to be carried out in companies or laboratories in the sector. The internship will be preceded by a course on health and safety during teaching and research activities (included in the internship) and an English language course. The students will complete the experience by drafting and presenting an internship paper that is the product of the research work carried out at a university facility or outside the University.
The educational activities include classroom teaching, workshops and internships, in order to acquire wide-ranging skills that can be readily transferable into the world of work.
During the whole university career, the various skills acquired will be assessed through written and oral examinations.
The final exam consists in the presentation of a report written by the student under the guidance of a supervisor on the research activity carried out during the internship.
It aims to verify the student's ability to apply the knowledge acquired during the course and his/her ability to communicate important scientific information on a specific topic and in a defined time interval, using IT presentation tools.
The internship can be carried out within the University or outside, in an affiliated company. The tutor/supervisor is a professor of the University; external correlators are allowed.
Please refer to the University regulations for the admission procedures to the final exam and for submitting the degree application, as well as for its evaluation.
