Master in Environmental Engineering

For Master in Environmental Engineering, tuition fees are 3,505 USD per year.

Environmental Engineering is a master's program delivered in English at Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, located in Bologna, Italy. This discipline applies engineering principles to problems of pollution control, resource management, and environmental protection, covering areas such as water and wastewater treatment, air quality management, solid waste management, and remediation of contaminated sites. Typical subjects include environmental chemistry, hydrology, treatment process design, environmental impact assessment, and sustainability-oriented planning. Students learn how pollutants move through air, water, and soil, how treatment systems are designed to remove contaminants, and how regulations and policy shape environmental management practices. The field draws on chemistry, biology, and civil engineering fundamentals, combining them into a specialization focused on reducing the environmental impact of human activity and industrial processes. Because environmental regulations continue to tighten and climate-related concerns grow more pressing, professionals trained in this area are needed across public agencies, private industry, and consulting firms. Career paths for graduates include environmental engineer, water resources specialist, sustainability consultant, and roles in regulatory compliance or environmental impact assessment for infrastructure and industrial projects. Some continue into research focused on emerging treatment technologies or climate adaptation strategies. The program spans two years and is taught entirely in English, drawing students with an engineering or related technical background who want to apply their skills to environmental protection and resource management, an area of increasing relevance as cities and industries face growing pressure to operate more sustainably.
