Master in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Tuition comes to 1,400 EUR per year.

This master's programme in Civil and Environmental Engineering is offered in English at Università degli Studi di Cassino e del Lazio Meridionale in Cassino, Italy, and runs for two years. Civil engineering is concerned with the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure such as buildings, roads, bridges, and water systems, while environmental engineering applies engineering principles to problems such as water and air quality, waste management, and the mitigation of environmental impacts from construction and infrastructure. Students in a combined programme of this kind typically study structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, transportation engineering, and environmental engineering topics such as water treatment and sustainable design, alongside the mathematics and applied mechanics that underpin these areas. Coursework often includes project-based work on infrastructure design, environmental impact assessment, and the use of technical software for structural and environmental modeling. This combination reflects the growing expectation that infrastructure be designed not only for structural performance but also for environmental sustainability and resilience. Graduates of civil and environmental engineering master's programmes pursue careers in construction and infrastructure companies, engineering consultancies, environmental agencies, water and waste management utilities, and public bodies responsible for infrastructure planning, as well as further study toward professional engineering qualifications. The dual focus prepares graduates to work on projects where structural and environmental considerations must be addressed together, such as sustainable buildings or water infrastructure. Cassino, in the Lazio region, hosts the university offering this programme. Delivered in English, the two-year master's degree is designed for an international student body pursuing graduate engineering study without requiring Italian language skills.
