L-25 - Agriculture and forestry industry
The Degree Course in Agro-Technologies for the Environment and the Landscape aims to train professionals endowed with interdisciplinary skills capable to apply agro-technologies to the several issues related to the efficient and sustainable use of natural resources, to the planning and physical management of landscape and environment, and to the containment of the undesirable environmental effects of agricultural activities. These objectives are pursued by emphasizing the multi-functionality of agricultural activities that nowadays appears the most up-to-date interpretation of their economic and social roles. Therefore, the Degree Course is characterized by the strong attention to the issues typical of the supra-enterprise scale as well as to the interactions among agricultural activities and other uses of the territory.
The professional profile of the Bachelor in Agro-Technologies for the Environment and the Landscape merges knowledge of chemistry, biology and plant and animal physiology with that of agro-technology and agricultural economy and engineering, so characterizing a professional able to respond to the needs of Administrations and Public Bodies as well as to those of enterprises and professional services. The career opportunities of the Bachelor in Agro-Technologies for the Environment and the Landscape lie in the fields of protection and management of the rural territory resources, environment protection, analysis and monitoring of agro-environmental systems and processes. In particular, thanks to the acquired skills, the Bachelor will find career opportunities in:
· national and regional services for the protection and development of the environment and territory (Government technical services, national and regional environmental agencies, basin authorities, regional, provincial and municipal technical services and departments, reclamation and irrigation consortia, mountain communities, consortia of mountain catchment);
· professional offices, service companies and laboratories active in the environmental and territorial valorization and safeguard and in environmental monitoring and recovery;
· professional offices and companies operating in the management and disposal of waste, environmental remediation, construction and maintenance of green areas, soil protection works and interventions;
· freelance activities.

The Course of study in Agricultural Technology for the Environment gives many opportunities for stages abroad mainly through the Erasmus+ programme. About 30 foreign Universities of the EU are involved in this students exchange. The areas of study which can be followed by the students abroad are almost all those included in this course of study. In general, students who make a stage abroad attend local courses or participate in research for the preparation of their thesis. The examination scores and the related UFC obtained in the partner universities are almost entirely acknowledged by our university for the curriculum studies.

Course attendance is strongly recommended.
Enrolment
Admission requirements
Applicants to the degree programme must hold a secondary-school diploma, or other equivalent qualification, and a baseline of knowledge in scientific subjects (mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology). Since the degree course has been deactivated and is only active in the third year, access is only possible by transfer or for students who have already graduated.
Admission of transfer or graduate students
Transfer students from a degree programme of the University of Milan, or another university, and graduate students will be waived from the test requirement only if admitted to years subsequent to Year I.
To this end, a specific request for prior career assessment must be submitted online at: http://studente.unimi.it/ammissioni/a/abbreviazioni/checkLogin.asp
These candidates must provide a full transcript of records (listing exams, subject areas, credits, grades) and attach the course syllabi.
The request for prior career assessment must be submitted from 16 May to 30 June 2023.
The outcome will be notified via e-mail by 15 July 2023.
Students admitted to the third year must comply with the following by the enrolment deadline:
- in case of enrolment in a second degree programme or transfer from another University: enrol by the deadline using the online service at http://studente.unimi.it/immatricolazioni/primoLivello/
- in case of internal transfer from another degree programme: apply for transfer at: http://studente.unimi.it/trasfInterno/
The student will receive an email (to their University email address) confirming the transfer.
THE PROGRAMME WILL BE GRADUALLY TERMINATED STARTING FROM THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2022/23. Students who are not admitted to years subsequent to Year I can take the TOLC-AV test and enrol in the new degree programme in Sustainable Agriculture or another programme of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, namely those in class L-25: Production and Protection of Plants and Green Areas, Development and Protection of Mountain Environment, Viticulture and Enology.
