The Master’s degree programme in Management for Energy and Environmental Transition (MEET) is taught entirely in English and trains future managers who are experts in the energy and ecological transition. Thanks to their knowledge in the fields of economics, accounting, market valuation and regulation, our graduates will be highly qualified professionals in the field of corporate sustainability. The professional profile is aligned with the new challenges of the energy and ecological transition, as defined by European and national strategies.

From the 2025–2026 academic year, the programme is part of the Edunext project and offers advanced teaching characterised by predominantly distance learning in a blended format. For full details on where to find the teaching materials, the period dedicated to face-to-face teaching and the opening events for the programme, please consult this document.

The course utilises a variety of learning and teaching methods, combining traditional lectures with more innovative teaching techniques (for example, the flipped classroom, group work and distance learning). Furthermore, the course features:

• seminars with experts from industry and academia
• software applications and analysis
• work placements and internships
• inclusive learning and peer-to-peer teaching, with a focus on group work, practical workshops and the analysis of business case studies

Graduates will be experts in decision-making processes applied to the ‘energy and ecological transition’, having had the opportunity to focus on various aspects of these phenomena (e.g. sustainability in business, engineering, economics, management, quantitative aspects, law). To strengthen their skills and improve their career prospects, students will benefit from unique experiences developed in collaboration with key stakeholders (for example, companies operating in the energy sector, regulatory authorities and service providers).

The course, taught entirely in English, offers a unique experience to students wishing to become managers in the ongoing energy and environmental transition. Students will learn how energy markets are regulated and financed, and how companies are adapting their operations to promote energy and environmental performance. To strengthen the link between students and industry, all modules will be developed in collaboration with stakeholders.

To achieve its objectives, the Master’s programme promotes a variety of approaches, knowledge and skills:

• it provides managerial and economic skills relevant to the challenges faced by private companies operating in the energy sector.
•  trains future managers and experts capable of facilitating the transition of companies, local authorities and public institutions towards more sustainable and energy-efficient organisations.

With the aim of promoting employability and the ability to learn by doing, the course encourages practical activities and theoretical lessons. Furthermore, to strengthen the link between students and industry, a compulsory work placement is included. Depending on the chosen study programme, this placement may take place at energy companies, public institutions, regulatory bodies or other organisations operating in related sectors.

How teaching works in MEET

💻 Online learning & in-person classes: MEET combines asynchronous online learning with a limited number of in-person classes. For each 3-CFU module, there are 9 hours of pre-recorded lectures available on the LEARN online platform and 6 hours of in-person classes at DIEC.

📅 Schedule: The schedule and classrooms for in-person classes will be available in October for the first semester and March for the second semester.

🕐 Study at your own pace: There is no fixed weekly timetable for the online component: students can watch the pre-recorded lectures asynchronously and organize their study time independently, while respecting the deadlines and instructions provided by each lecturer.

🏫 In-person classes: Attendance at in-person classes is not compulsory. However, individual lecturers may establish different learning activities and/or assessment arrangements for attending and non-attending students. Students should therefore always check the specific information provided for each module.

📚 Further course and exam information: Detailed information about each module, including module and cluster examination procedures, assessment methods, teaching materials, deadlines, and other course-specific information, is available on the LEARN platform. Students are therefore strongly encouraged to access LEARN regularly throughout the academic year.

📚 Check LEARN regularly: Students are strongly encouraged to access LEARN from the beginning of the semester and check it regularly, as it is the main platform for accessing recorded lectures, teaching materials, announcements, and course-specific information.
