13 Construction MSc Degree Programs in Italy

The Master of Science in Digital Skills for Sustainable Societal Transitions has been designed to train the digital expert, a professional that can understand how technologies impact societies and cities transitions towards new development models. The Master's Course is characterized by a strong multidisciplinary approach that allows the digital expert to work in teams with digital technology related skills as well as practical skills. This leads to develop competencies in business management and management sciences, with in-depth knowledge in a specific transition-related process such as de-carbonization and energy transition, industrial automation, valorization of the cultural heritage.

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering for Mitigation of Risk from Natural Hazards is structured in two curricula, namely the Reduction of Seismic Risk (ROSE) and the Hydrogeological Risk Assessment and Mitigation (HYRIS).

The MSc in Environmental Engineering for Sustainable Development and Territorial Protection focuses on applying engineering principles to solve environmental challenges. The program covers essential topics like sustainable development, climate change effects, water quality management, pollution control and energy planning. Students will participate in practical projects to gain direct experience during their training, including through internships.

The focus of the Second Cycle Master’s Degree in Sustainable Industrial Pharmaceutical Biotechnology (SIPhaB) is on the industrial biotech-pharma sector, where Italy ranks first in Europe for export and production and first in the world for innovative contracts.

Studying Civil Engineering at Politecnico di Torino means attending classes taught by internationally renowned professors in one of the best engineering universities in Europe that has over 150 years of history. You will become a Civil Engineer, namely, a professional who has a wide range of knowledge and skills in the fields of design, construction, management, surveying, monitoring and maintenance of buildings (civil and industrial), large-scale structures (bridges, dams, tunnels) and infrastructures (roads, railways, water distribution and drainage networks).

By Joining the Master's Degree Programme in Building Engineering with Passion and Perseverance, You Will Build a Future Full of Opportunities in Different Professional Fields of The Construction Industry. As a building engineer, you will be aware of the complexity of the building system (at both subsystem and environmental level) and you will be able to develop projects in the construction sector.

Objective of the course is to transmit to the student knowledge and skills in building technology and construction, in production and management engineering, in law, in economics, in information technology, and in land planning; to provide methods and tools to be used for technical-economic evaluation on purchase or on designing the requalification of buildings.

The program links the fundamental disciplines of Civil Engineering (design and construction of civil and environmental structures and infrastructures) with a broad overview of the most advanced Risk Management tools, with particular attention to forecasting and prevention issues concerning structures and infrastructures and soil, on which they are built or embedded, due to natural and anthropic causes.

The MSc in Structural Engineering aims to train professionals with advanced knowledge, capable of operating in all areas of structural engineering, including analysis, design, management, and maintenance of civil structures and infrastructures.

MSc in Architectural Engineering is entirely offered in English and prepares high-level professionals who can work in the field of the built environment, and in particular of high energy performance, low environmental impact buildings, thanks to multi-disciplinary training and the acquisition of specialist engineering skills.

The two-year Master of Science in Civil Engineering provides students with a sound preparation on these structures and on infrastructures, allowing them to choose a curriculum (or ‘track’) among the five available: General, Geotechnics, Hydraulics, Infrastructures, and Structures.

Engineering for Building Retrofitting addresses the topic of the protection, rehabilitation, and enhancement of the existing buildings in terms of structural safety, energy efficiency, quality, and comfort, considering social and economic issues.

The M.Sc. in Engineering for Natural Risk Management prepares professionals capable of operating in all areas of civil, public and private security, national and international security. The multidisciplinary approach of this program is reflected in its courses, which include disciplines closely related to natural hazards and information and communication technologies, that are essential support to a modern system of civil protection. The courses are fully taught in English.
