The course in brief
Presentation
The degree in Environmental and Natural Sciences will provide you with the scientific, methodological and cultural foundations to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the environmental system, its components and their historical becoming. You will be able to pursue professions in the natural and environmental fields, such as support for scientific research, monitoring, management, restoration and planning of natural and man-made environmental systems, dissemination and scientific communication.
Learning by doing
The teaching includes not only classroom lectures, but also exercises, laboratories and field activities. You will be able to participate in a wildlife or oceanographic campaign depending on your chosen field of study, do internships at environmental planning and management agencies or at environmental analysis and monitoring laboratories to acquire technical skills and apply what you have learned in practice.
Professional outlets
The course prepares you for the professions: environmental control technicians, agricultural technicians, forestry technicians, tourist entertainers and assimilated professions, nature and sports guides and escorts, tour guides, museum technicians.
After passing a state exam, you can enter the professional registers: junior planner, junior biologist, agro-technician, and agricultural expert.
You will gain access to teaching upon completion of targeted postgraduate educational pathways.

Earth and life sciences
The Bachelor of Science in Natural and Environmental Sciences conveys both the cultural foundations and the use of professional tools necessary for the knowledge, appreciation and proper management of the natural heritage, in the spirit of the Higher Education Degree Accreditation process recently disseminated by the CIEEM - Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management. The course proposes an integrated reading of natural and anthropogenic ecosystems and consequently features teaching activities related to the Earth Sciences and Life Sciences fields, coupled with a congruent foundation of mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science.
Environment and nature
The educational pathway includes a common first year for all students and then a choice between two curricula:
- Nature, aims at the knowledge of the faunal and floristic components of the environment, with functional insights related to the conservation and restoration of animal and plant biocenoses
- Environment, aimed at the training of figures capable of collaborating in activities of surveying, classification, analysis, monitoring, restoration and conservation of abiotic and biotic components of natural systems in order to promote the quality of the environment.
