Description
Environmental and Land Planning Engineering focus on the analysis and characterization of the state of the environment and on the design and management of structural and infrastructural interventions required for proper mitigation, restoration, and maintenance of environmental quality.
Career Opportunities:
Studying Environmental and Land Planning Engineering at Politecnico di Milano opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities. Graduates can work in areas such as natural hazard prevention, environmental monitoring, land planning and management, and environmental protection and reclamation technologies, contributing to sustainable development initiatives.
Requirement
- Italian secondary school leaving qualification or other comparable foreign qualification (level 4 EQF)
- The knowledge required for admission is checked by means of a test common to all the Design courses offered by the University (TOLD).
- International passport
Structure
The degree programme includes a common nucleus of basic courses considered necessary to deal with problems of analysis of environmental and land processes at the various spatial and time scales, and takes place in the first five semesters. Such courses are aimed at acquiring detailed and solid knowledge of basic engineering educational disciplines such as mathematical analysis, geometry, physics, computer science, and chemistry, and are supplemented with a further common nucleus of courses characteristic of and indispensable for the education of an environmental engineer, whatever track is chosen or for continuing to a Master of Science.
In the last semester of the third Programme year, examples of application of consolidated techniques of intervention and management, updated with the most recent developments, are also provided to cope with the solution of specific macro-sectorial problems concerning complementary professional roles:
Land Protection and Prevention Against Natural Risks, addressing protection of land against hydrological and seismic risks.
Natural Resources Planning and Management, addressing land planning, management of natural resources and design of environmental and land planning information systems.
Environmental Protection and Remediation Technologies, focusing on engineering interventions for prevention and reclamation of environmental alteration phenomena involving water, air, and soil resources.
Courses provided are organised to allow students to deepen their knowledge by making contact with the professional reality via specific teaching laboratories and technical visits to plants and industries organised within the various courses. Internships during the final year are also possible, potentially preparing students for the final graduation exam.
Politecnico di Milano offers ample opportunities for student mobility programs, including participation in Erasmus and Socrates programmes of the European Union, providing a recognised period of study (3-12 months) in a foreign university with a scholarship. The Environmental and Land Planning Engineering Programme is known for its active participation in these initiatives.
