INCOMING STUDENTS
Dear Incoming Students,
welcome to the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Milano-Bicocca!
This section provides useful information for all students coming from abroad to study at our university.
Our project encourages international students to meet up with Italian students to practice their Italian and teach the Italian students more about their language and culture.
Please consult the following pages for a list of the Erasmus bilateral agreements active at our department:
In the following, you can find essential information about the Environmental Sciences courses offered at our Department.
Bachelor of Science
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGIES
The three-year BSc provides essential knowledge and
practical skills. To build a solid foundation in the
environmental sciences, students will develop key
knowledge in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology,
ecology, geology, law. The interdisciplinary approach
across the degree course ensures that graduates will be
able to:
- analyse the environment in its biotic and abiotic
components;
- identify the specific problems of both natural and
man-modified environments.
Graduates will be equipped with a wide range of skills
suitable for progressing onto further study or
employment. These skills include:
- data gathering, information retrieval, organizing and
communicating information;
- ability to work effectively on one’s own and as part
of a team;
- verbal and written communication skills in Italian and
at least another European language.
Graduates with an environmental science background find
employment with public agencies and private companies
undertaking technical roles in areas including
environmental monitoring, sustainability strategy and
policy, land remediation, environmental protection,
nature conservation, environmental management,
environmental education.

Master of Science
SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENVIRONMENT AND
LANDSCAPE
The two-year MSc is a flexibly structured and
coherent programme of study that prepares for employment
in a variety of careers. Students will have the
opportunity to develop specialist knowledge and
understanding in a chosen area of the environmental
sciences, whilst maintaining a broader view of the
environment on an interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary basis. The programme aims to provide
students with:
- a thorough understanding of the functioning and
management of the environment and of the interactions of
the environment and society;
- the knowledge of methods and techniques of land survey
and data analysis;
- the knowledge of the technologies for pollution
prevention, detection, control and remediation;
- the conceptual tools to identify, prevent, assess, and
manage risk and protect human health and the
environment;
- the ability to monitor, control and manage environment
and ecological systems;
- the conceptual understanding of sustainability and
environmental ethics;
- skills for the assessment of environmental resources
and problems associated with their exploitation;
- the conceptual and methodological tools provided by
economics, law and landscape planning.
The course prepares students
for work in both the public and private sectors, and
within local and national institutions. Some students
also proceed to PhD level study after this course.
