L-25 - Scienze e tecnologie agrarie e forestali (EN)
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.

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).
Admission assessment
Admission into this Bachelor's degree programme is capped in order to meet high-quality teaching standards relative to the available resources. There are 80 places available for enrolment in the first year, plus 5 places for non-EU students residing abroad.
Access to the programme is regulated by a compulsory, selective test to ascertain that the candidate meets admission requirements, i.e. knowledge of key science subjects as provided by secondary school, and an understanding of elementary logic.
The test required for admission into the degree programme is TOLC-AV, an online test provided by the Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems (CISIA - https://www.cisiaonline.it).
For test topics and details, please review the page https://www.cisiaonline.it/en/area-tematica-tolc-agraria-veterinaria/struttura-della-prova-e-syllabus/.
You may sit for the TOLC-AV test at the University of Milan or any other member university of CISIA.
The calendar with available venues and dates is posted to the page https://tolc.cisiaonline.it/calendario.php?l=gb.
Registration procedures and deadlines are set out in the call for applications posted to the page https://aat.cdl.unimi.it/it/iscriversi
Only students high enough in the merit ranking will be eligible for enrolment.
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 2022.
The outcome will be notified via e-mail by 15 July 2022.
Students admitted to years subsequent to Year I 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.

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.
