About the programme: Environmental EngineeringIn the international curriculum “Earth Resources Engineering – ERE” of the 2nd cycle degree in Environmental Engineering, all courses and activities are given in English. The master’s duration is two years (4 semesters) during which there are core and curriculum courses. The core modules, common for all students, aim at consolidating fundamentals and improving capabilities in the areas of Environmental Engineering, while in the second year students choose a specilisation amongst:• Environment, resources and circular economy (Bologna);• Off-shore engineering (Ravenna).A committee will help students to select the courses to build their own curriculum. In order to obtain the Master Degree (Laurea Magistrale), students must successfully complete all the courses and discuss a final dissertation, for a minimum of 120 Credits (ECTS). The courses will be organized with in-class teaching activities, practice, design and laboratory activities. The final exam consists in the public discussion of a dissertation (the master thesis).Even more internationalThanks to Dual Degree agreements, students can obtain two qualifications in two years. The partners are Columbia University (New York, USA); University of Miami (Florida, USA); Université de Liège (Belgium). Furthermore, international agreements allow students to spend part of their studies abroad (for exams, research, or internships).How do you want to spend your second year?You can choose amongst many options:. Choose between two paths inside the degree programme:Earth Resources Engineering (Bologna campus)Earth resources – Offshore engineering (Ravenna campus). Spend one year abroad by participating into one of the three Dual degree programmes which are made available to students.. Explore other opportunities for studying abroad: all students will have the option of spending a period of study abroad. Tailored opportunities for studying and/or preparing experimental thesis work in a foreign University, along with opportunities for internships in international research centers, construction industries, consulting or design offices will be guaranteed to the students via Erasmus+, Erasmus placement and Overseas programmes. See UNIBO website for extensive information about opportunities for studying abroad.About the “Environment, Resources and Circular Economy” optionMaterial and energy flows through industrial systems and connections between operators within the “industrial ecosystem” will be tackled from a systemic point of view. Whilst looking at their global impact from the outset, the programme will focus on:• Earth resources management;• Sustainable development;• Resource efficiency and resource savings;• Rational exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs;• Water resources;• Pollution prevention;• Waste prevention; recycling; waste and bio-waste valorisation;• Reclamation and health.Environmental engineering is a subject that will be at the heart of any transition to a circular economy. Equally crucial will be the development of the skill of understanding how individual activities interact within a bigger, interconnected world.About the “Off-shore Engineering” optionThe programme, entirely delivered in English, is offered thanks to the support of companies in the Ravenna Off-Shore District and of Fondazione Flaminia. The courses will delve into the themes of Off-Shore resources management and exploitation, sustainability of Off-shore processes and impact of Off-shore structures on the environment. The first year of the programme will be delivered in Bologna, while the second year will be offered in Ravenna. Thanks to an agreement between Confindustria and the University of Bologna, students attending the programme will be offered the possibility of carrying out an internship and to develop a Master’s thesis in the companies operating in Ravenna.
