Master in ENVIRONMENTAL AND TERRITORIAL ENGINEERING

Environmental and Territorial Engineering is a two-year master's degree taught in English at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II in Napoli, Italy. The field combines environmental engineering with territorial, or land-use, planning, looking at how infrastructure and human activity interact with natural systems across a region. Students typically study water resource management, waste treatment, soil and groundwater protection, and environmental monitoring, alongside land-use planning, risk assessment, and the regulatory frameworks that govern environmental protection in Europe. Coursework often includes geographic information systems and modelling tools used to analyze environmental data across a territory, as well as topics related to climate adaptation, natural hazard management, and the sustainable use of land and water resources. Because this field bridges engineering and planning, students commonly develop both technical skills in environmental analysis and a broader understanding of how territorial decisions affect ecosystems, communities, and infrastructure. Graduates typically pursue careers with environmental consultancies, public agencies responsible for land and water management, engineering firms working on infrastructure and remediation projects, and organizations involved in environmental monitoring or climate risk assessment. Some continue toward further graduate study or research in environmental science and engineering. The programme is based in Napoli, a region shaped by both dense urban development and significant natural features, offering context relevant to territorial engineering study. Delivered entirely in English, the master's degree is designed to be accessible to international students interested in the technical and planning dimensions of environmental protection, preparing graduates to address the interconnected challenges of infrastructure, land use, and environmental sustainability.
