THE DEGREE PROGRAMME
The degree program in Urban, Environmental and Landscape Planning / Policy Development prepares students to become experts in analyzing urban, landscape and environmental dynamics as well as in developing policies and programs for a city and its surroundings.
Students are directed towards an interdisciplinary approach to work. The acquired skill set, including use of appropriate software, allows them to operate within multi-scale, complex and internationally relevant contexts. An urban planner will have the capacity to coordinate an interdisciplinary planning team, monitor and assess transformation projects, “measure” processes and results, oversee management and environmental auditing activities, coordinate teams of specialists with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds and define strategic policies for administrative bodies or institutions with regard to the restoration, enhancement or transformation of land and urban or environmental areas.
DEGREE PROGRAMS
The program offers two degree options:
-
The local program (grants the laurea magistrale degree title);
-
An international program granting a double laurea degree with the École Nationale d'Architecture et d'Urbanism at the University of Carthage;
All program options except for the local program require students to attend the first semester of the second year at one of the partner sites (with the support of Erasmus scholarships or other projects).
Each program concludes with a pre-graduation internship and dissertation to be completed in Italy or abroad. Planning graduates therefore have an opportunity to experience a rich learning environment as well as international interaction, maximizing their likelihood of job placement.
ADMISSIONS
Admission to the Laurea magistrale degree program is subject to assessment of individual competence based on academic records and professional training as well as on a portfolio, with particular attention to the three-year Laurea triennale coursework.
Having linguistic competence in a language other than Italian at a B1 level as defined by the
"Common European Framework of Reference for Languages" is a prerequisite for admission. Candidates can offer proof of meeting this requirement in the following forms: possessing appropriate language certifications, passing specific foreign language exams, or passing foreign language exams at foreign universities.
Should it not be possible to verify linguistic competency as outlined above, admission will be contingent on a specific interview designed for this purpose.
Candidates applying for admission should have already earned a three-year Laurea triennale degree in one of the following classes:
- L 6 – Geography (ex class 30 and codes before 240/04)
- L 17 – Architectural Science (ex class 4 and codes before 240/04)
- L 21 – Urban, Land-use, Environmental and Landscape Planning Sciences (ex class 7 and codes before 240/04)
- L 25 – Agricultural and Forest Sciences (ex class 20 and codes before 240/04)
- L 32 – Environmental and Nature Sciences (ex class 27 and codes before 240/04).
Candidates who are due to complete one of the above-mentioned degrees within the date specified in the call for admissions may also be considered for admission if they submit a valid transcript of exams, marks and earned credits. Failing to complete the prerequisite degree by the specified date will automatically render the application for admissions null
Furthermore, candidates who have completed or are soon to complete other three-year laurea triennale degrees may apply; admissions shall be subject to review of academic transcripts (indicating exams, marks and credits earned), previous training and experience.
CARREER OPPORTUNITIES
Typically, graduates will become self-employed and/or work in a joint practice. Planners are also employed in public and private research and development projects, professional practice and engineering firms, service agencies and land-use administrative or governmental positions.
Professional practice (after passing the State Exam for licensure with the Professional Board for architects, planners, landscape architects and conservationists- section A) involves:
- Professional activities included in section B of the registry;
- Land-use, landscape, environmental and urban planning;
- Performing and coordinating complex technical analyses in urban, land-use, landscape and environmental projects; performing and managing environmental assessment activities; assessing environmental contexts and evaluating the feasibility of urban and land-use projects;
- Strategic planning, policy-planning, urban and land-use transformation projects.
The laurea magistrale degree is also a prerequisite for access to second-tier Master’s degrees and doctoral research programs.
