Course description

Issues relating to the environment are crucial for the future of our Planet.

Insubria's degree programme in Environmental and Natural Sciences offers a global and interdisciplinary approach to major and topical issues such as health and pollution, climate change, sustainable use of natural resources, ecosystem services, renewable energy sources, biodiversity conservation, hydro-geological instability. Our faculty members are all engaged in research activities on these topics and this means that teaching activities are constantly informed by their research. Before tackling these issues yourself, you will first need to gain a solid grounding in chemistry, geology, biology and ecology, in order to understand how natural systems work, whether they have been altered or not.

Lessons are held in person by faculty members alternatively in Como or Varese, with the other location connected by video conferencing. Lessons are just a part of the teaching process, which is supplemented by workshops and field trips to learn how to use methods and tools to produce, analyse and interpret data on environmental matrixes.

At the end of this programme you can decide to continue studying in our second cycle programme or to enter the job market: possible openings include technical positions for the assessment and management of natural resources, geological risks or chemical risks, environmental or energy certifier, expert in environmental impact assessment, environmental and occupational hygienist.

Lessons are held in Italian.
