Human Science of Enviroment, Landscape and Terrritory (Classe L-6)-Enrolled from 2021/2022
The Bachelor's degree programme in Human Science of Environment, Landscape and Territory aims to train graduates with strong skills in physical and human geography, and the applications thereof. Students will also learn the fundamental theoretical and methodological bases of geography, physical geography, psychology, anthropology, law, economics, sociology, history, literature, art and urban-planning. They will thus learn how to conduct a scientific analysis of territorial systems and the cultural landscape, in order to assess the environmental and social impact of human action on territorial systems. With a view to professional training, the degree programme includes two specific guided tracks. The first one is oriented towards territory enhancement, with a focus on the tourism sector. The second one focuses on the environment and sustainable development.
In compliance with the principles of European harmonization, the final qualifications of the first cycle may be awarded to students with the required skills in geography and other areas of the humanities and natural sciences, who have honed, through a global and synthetic study approach, the ability to use the analytical and interpretative tools of geography and human sciences for the interpretation, representation and communication of the construction and evolution of environments, territories, landscapes, cultures and societies.
These skills will be supported by proficiency in at least one language of the European Union, in addition to Italian, and by the ability to use IT tools in document collection, information processing and management, cartographic representation and communication to the public.
Graduates will be able to enter the world of work with conceptual and operational skills as well as a sound theoretical education.
Learning outcomes will be assessed through exams, laboratory or internship activities and the final paper.
