Introduction
Natural and Environmental Sciences
This course trains environmental and naturalistic experts to understand and face the environmental crisis that characterizes our planet. It provides the fundamental languages of scientific disciplines and the skills to recognize the value of natural heritage through the description of animal and plant biodiversity. It gives the tools for understanding the natural processes at the system level (communities, ecosystems, biomes, biosphere) and their modifications induced by human activities.
The naturalistic and more typically systemic skills of the environment will allow to develop the best skills for organizing and interpreting environmental monitoring and assessing the effects of degradation and pollution both locally and at the level of global changes.

Career Opportunities
The course prepares for the professions of environmental control technicians, nature and sports guides, and museum technicians.
The degree in Natural and Environmental Sciences trains students who can be employed in private or public companies with the task of environmental data collection and analysis for all problems that may involve an interaction between production activities and environmental system, but also for monitoring, protection, enhancement and conservation of marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
It allows access to the state exam for the qualification as a junior biologist. Skills also allow employment opportunities in the scientific research sector.
Program delivery
In addition to in-presence teaching, which continues to be the preferred method also in the next Academic Year, every single lesson will be simultaneously live-streamed and/or video recorded and uploaded on our digital platform for subsequent viewing. This mode is essential for students who are temporarily unable to be on premises.
