The Master of Science in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering provides with an education focused on developing adequate engineering frameworks for the sustainable utilization of natural resources and man-made infrastructures.

This English-taught master's degree yields professionals capable of intervening with multidisciplinary expertise in the prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, management, and resolution of environmental problems locally, internationally, and globally with a focus on climate change.

MSc in Energy and Nuclear Engineering In this crucial decade for energy transition, studying energy generation, transport, and use is of paramount importance for global development, especially regarding environmental sustainability and exploitation of natural resources. You will become an Energy and Nuclear Engineer, a professional who can identify, formulate, solve, and even innovate within, complex problems that often require a multidisciplinary approach.

The Master of Science programme in Environmental Meteorology and Climate Physics is a double degree jointly offered by the University of Trento and the University of Innsbruck, Austria.

The Master’s degree program offers a comprehensive view of the environment, key to modern naturalists, by combining theoretical knowledge with high-level scientific and practical training. Students will acquire advanced skills in the system analysis of the natural environment in a changing climate and will learn how to master the scientific method for research in natural sciences, the modern tools for environmental monitoring (e.g. remote sensing), data acquisition, and statistical data analysis and storage, the principles and techniques of geological, floristic and faunistic investigation, and the methods for environmental impact assessments.

The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering – Resilience to Climate Change Effects (REACH) aims at training professionals capable of operating in a reality where climate change increasingly impacts the management of water resources, on the safeguard of the environment, and on soil protection.

The aim of the MSc program in Nuclear Engineering is to prepare engineers with the necessary skills to design, build and operate power generation plants, radioactive waste treatment plants, systems using radiation for industrial and medical applications, etc.

Today more than half of the world’s population lives in cities.This proportion is expected to further increase by 2050. To manage our cities effectively and sustainably has thus become essential to preserve and optimize resources and improve the well-being of citizens. In recent years, a new concept of Smart City has emerged to tackle modern cities’ issues and make urban development more sustainable and liveable. Most cities across the world are undergoing this transformation triggered by the ongoing digital transition contributing to innovative urban infrastructures and providing efficient services to citizens.

Implementation of eco-friendly plant production technologies, minimizing the hazards and risks to human health and the environment, is a major challenge worldwide. This challenge is faced by all economic sectors producing or using plants: agriculture, agrifood, cosmetics, pharmaceutics.
