The Master's Degree in Geosciences for Risk and Environment Management, divided into two curricula, one of which is taught entirely in English, aims to train expert and advanced level geologists, equipped with an adequate basic scientific culture and in-depth multidisciplinary knowledge of the Earth system and its dynamics on a global and local scale. The teaching activities integrate traditional methodologies, cutting-edge laboratory activities, field work, training internships at expert companies in the sector and training periods abroad.
The MD Course allows students to choose between two highly specialized training paths (curricula), one of which is taught entirely in English.
Curriculum 1 (Applied Geology for Land Protection and Planning, in italian) provides cultural and technical-professional training typical and exclusive to the figure of the "Applied Geologist", necessary to support engineering plans, for the identification and correct use of geological resources (with particular attention to underground water), for the assessment of geological risks (in particular hydrogeological risk, geological-environmental risk, hydraulic risk, erosion risk, seismic susceptibility, etc.) and for the production of geological and geothematic cartography. The training offered by this curriculum is aimed at students particularly interested in professional activity, in the private or public sector, related to territorial and environmental planning, geoengineering and the management of surface and underground water resources.
The path includes 6 CFU to be acquired through professional internships to be carried out at selected structures and companies in the sector.
Curriculum 2 (Geosciences for environmental sustainability), taught entirely in English, provides in-depth knowledge of geological processes, aimed at understanding and mitigating the risks associated with changes to our planet. In particular, the courses are aimed at the assessment of geological risks, with particular reference to seismic, volcanic and geo-environmental risks, as well as the identification and sustainable use of geo-resources (renewable and non-renewable) and geomaterials, including their reuse in the context of a circular economy.
