LM-75 R - Scienze e tecnologie per l'ambiente e il territorio
Environmental change plays a central role in modern societies, to the point that a sustainable management of the environment currently represents one of the most important open challenges for humanity. Addressing this challenge requires a multidisciplinary approach that overcomes the usual boundaries of scientific disciplines. In this context, the Master program in Environmental Change and Global Sustainability (ECGS) provides advanced expertise in the hard- and life-science components of environmental studies as well as in their economic- and social-science components. The general goal is to train students to tackle environmental change and sustainability in a multidisciplinary perspective. Students will therefore be provided with both a solid knowledge of the dynamics of the different components of the environment and a deep understanding of the tools required to promote its sustainable management and protection.
The Master degree in Environmental Change and Global Sustainability represents a novelty in the Italian university system, not only for its marked multidisciplinary approach, but also for being taught entirely in English.
The Master degree in Environmental Change and Global Sustainability represents a novelty in the Italian university system, not only for its marked multidisciplinary approach, but also for being taught entirely in English.
The main peculiar quality of ECGS graduates is their ability to tackle environmental change and sustainability in a multidisciplinary perspective. This ability benefits of advanced expertise in the hard- and life-science components of environmental studies as well as in their economic- and social-science components. Particular attention is paid to provide graduates with conceptual and technical tools able to support a quantitative approach in the analysis of environmental and sustainability issues. In this context, five professional profiles ECGS graduates can achieve are listed below.
1. Environmental manager in agro-food, energy and green economy companies as well as in other companies in the industrial and service sectors
Function in a working environment
This professional profile has the skills needed to effectively manage, in companies, environmental issues from the scientific, technical, administrative and legal points of view.
Career opportunities
Career opportunities will be possible in private and public companies, e.g., in the energy sector, in the green economy, in the agri-food, and in other branches of the industry and services, as well as in the secondary school.
2. Environmental specialist in the public administration as well as in local governments
Function in a working environment
Designing and managing activities dealing with environmental analysis, monitoring and evaluation.
Career opportunities
Environmental officer in public administration and local governments (e.g., municipalities, provinces, regions, natural parks and protected areas), teacher in the secondary school.
3. Environmental specialist in supra and international bodies as well as in national and international non-governmental organizations.
Function in a working environment
Planning and managing activities involved with sustainable development; developing strategies at multiple scales to protect environment and natural resources.
Career opportunities
Career opportunities will be possible in supra and international bodies and in non-governmental organizations, as well as in the secondary school.
4. Specialist in environmental impact studies and strategic environmental assessments
Function in a working environment
Environmental analysis targeting the evaluation of environmental quality and impact; facing and solving environmental problems at local, regional and national scales.
Career opportunities
Private and public bodies involved with environmental issues (e.g., ARPA, institutes in charge for environmental protection, municipalities, provinces, regions), institutes for the scientific research applied to the environment and natural resources, professional studies involve with landscape analysis, impact evaluation, economics of natural resources; teaching in the secondary school.
5. Specialist in environmental analysis and monitoring
Function in a working environment
Analyzing and evaluating local and regional environmental problems (e.g., pollution and related impacts); environmental and natural resource monitoring; identifying and applying innovative solutions to solve local and regional environmental problems.
Career opportunities
Professional studies and public research bodies involved with environmental analysis and monitoring; teaching in the secondary school.
Further employment opportunities of ECGS graduates concern research positions at universities and research institutions as well as teaching at the secondary school level.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
In line with the nature of the ECGS programme, international mobility is highly encouraged.
Students enrolled in the programme may spend a study period abroad under the ERASMUS+ program (they can take courses, take exams, prepare theses, carry out research), obtaining recognition for their academic career from that educational experience.
Erasmus+ also provides Placements, that is, the opportunity for a traineeship in companies and other organisations abroad. The new Erasmus+ program provides the following new study and placement opportunities: a) up to 12 months abroad (study periods and placements); b) placements, including those for new graduates (within 12 months of completing a degree). Students who have already spent a period abroad under the Erasmus+ programme may still apply for an Erasmus+ educational or placement activity. Yet, the months previously spent abroad concur to the attainment of the overall maximum of 12 months for each Erasmus+ study cycle.

Attendance is strongly recommended.
Enrolment
Eligibility to the Master program in Environmental Change and Global Sustainability presupposes to possess suitable curricular qualifications and to have an adequate personal preparation, to be verified - if needed - by means of an interview. As to the curricular qualifications, the ECGS program can be accessed by graduates holding an Italian three-year laurea (BA) degree (ex D.M. 270/2004 or ex D.M. 509/1999) in either the class L-32 Scienze per l'ambiente e la natura (ex D.M. 270/2004) or the class L-27 Scienze e tecnologie per l'ambiente e la natura (ex D.M 509/1999). The ECGS programme can also be accessed by graduates holding an Italian three-year laurea (BA) degree, obtained in classes different from the above- mentioned ones, provided they have earned at least 45 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits for having attended courses in the scientific-disciplinary sectors belonging to at least two of the following sets, of which at least 12 in the scientific-disciplinary sectors belonging to the first set and at least 12 in the scientific-disciplinary sectors belonging to the second set or the third set.
1. computer science, mathematics, and statistics (INF/01, MAT/01-/09, SECS-S/01, SECS-S/06);

The same criteria are applied also to candidates with foreign qualifications obtained from international Universities, in case the scientific-disciplinary sectors and the related number of credits are clearly identifiable. In case of problems with the identification, the career of the candidate will be evaluated by a dedicated committee appointed by the ECGS program Council.
Moreover, in all the above cases, knowledge of the English language is required at level B2 or higher, according to the classification provided by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The qualifications recognised by the University of Milan, with the corresponding CEFR levels, can be found at: https://www.unimi.it/en/study/language-proficiency/placement-tests-and-english-courses/accepted-language-certificates.
Native English speakers and graduates from university first-level programmes entirely taught in English are exempted from producing any such language qualification.
Students without a documented B2 level may be accepted on condition that their level of English proficiency, assessed during the interview, is evidently good.
Students who do not comply with the above prerequisites can fulfill them by attending crash courses in the above areas to be held starting at the end of August (see the official course's website https://ecgs.unimi.it/en). Note: crash courses are only for admitted students and are not compulsory.
