  Green Technologies

Students following the curricula Environment & Sustainability (1) and Soil Protection and Water Management (2) can join the project: Green technologies for sustainable environmental engineering. The path allows students to obtain the title of Green Technologies Expert, a professional figure with a cultural profile enriched with skills for the management of environmental sustainability with a view to the circular economy. During the programme it is necessary to acquire as a whole 30 credits:

• 18 credits are selectable from courses already included in the two curricula of the Master in Environmental Engineering,
• 12 credits can be chosen between other extracurricular courses

All the courses to obtain the title of Green Technology expert (within one year after the master time) can be viewed below:

In order to apply, check the dedicated website under “Modulo di pre-adesion”. For more information, contact the School of Engineering.

  Credit system

For each course, a number of credits is distributed which the students obtain by passing the respective exam. These credits define the student's workload, including time spent attending lectures, seminars, independent study, and examinations. The Italian University system uses CFU (Crediti Formativi Universitari) for which 1 CFU corresponds to 1 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System). The Italian system is adapted to the European credit system.

An overview of the transfer system is listed below:

• 1 Italian CFU = 1 ECTS credit
• 1 ECTS credit = 25 working hours (lectures and self study)
• 1 full year of study = 60 ECTS
• 1st cycle Degree (3 years Programme) = 180 ECTS
• 2nd cycle Degree (2 year Programme) = 120 ECTS
