To be eligible for enrollment in this degree program applicants must possess a high school diploma or another qualification obtained abroad that is recognized as equivalent and valid, as per applicable laws. Access to this program requires a good knowledge of written and spoken Italian, logical reasoning skills, the knowledge and ability to apply the main results of basic mathematics and foundations in experimental sciences. How required knowledge for access to the program will be assessed, as well as how additional learning requirements (known as OFAs) are dealt with, is described in detail in the Academic Regulations for this degree program.

More specifically, the knowledge required for the access is verified by means of the On Line Cisia Test (TOLC).
Those students who have not taken the test or who have not passed it are assigned specific additional credit obligations (OFA) to be complied with within the first year of study by taking specific Compensation Tests for OFAs, organised during the entire university year. (Link: http://www.ingmo.unimore.it/site/home/servizi-studenti.html --> Futuro Studente --> OFA).

Non-European students who live abroad, except for those clearly indicated as exempt in the access regulations of foreign students to university courses provided for by the MIUR (Italian Ministry for Education, University and Research), must also pass a test assessing their knowledge of the Italian language before enrolling.

Introduction to learning areas relating to professional destinations

The Degree Programme is mainly aimed at providing graduates with an adequate mastery of general scientific methods and contents, which are useful to complete their own professional development through subsequent training programmes, and to continuously keep up-to-date and adapt to the fast technological evolution typical of Civil and Environmental Engineering, as well as of the production sectors it applies to.
In relation to the professional profiles identified in A2.a, the degree programme is divided into three distinct learning areas, which are summarised as follows:
- Basic science and engineering training area
This area aims to provide a solid background in mathematics and other basic sciences, which are the essential tool for interpreting, describing and solving the issues of civil and environmental engineering and, in addition, it intends to provide a sound basic engineering training, necessary to design a non-complex work of engineering, as well as to manage interventions to safeguard the territory and interpret projects with knowledge of works, also with a view to assessing its impact on the environment.
This area also aims to provide the appropriate complements of industrial engineering: thermodynamics, heat transmission, materials science and technology; the contents of the main technical standards and the foundations of law; the knowledge of the most common analysis and detection tools, including cartographic, with data processing and representation of experimental results.
- Environmental Engineering Area
This area aims to provide a broad-spectrum training in the distinctive disciplines of environmental engineering and the territory, to identify environmental issues and the processes causing them and envisage appropriate interventions using up-to-date technologies. Students are provided with the tools to understand: the phenomena of pollution, the problems of hydrogeological instability, the main techniques of waste water purification, waste management systems and the territorial relevance of these issues.
- Civil Engineering Area
This area aims to provide a broad-spectrum preparation in the disciplines of civil engineering, aimed at offering the basic knowledge and skills required for the design, construction, testing and maintenance of structural works and infrastructure.

Degree programme structure

The first two years include the basic scientific teachings (mathematical analysis, geometry, physics, chemistry, information technology and rational mechanics), technical physics (first semester, second year) and the distinctive courses for basic engineering training (hydraulics and hydraulic constructions, construction science, applied geology, geotechnics, geomatics). A chemistry module with laboratory activity focuses on the environment, whereas the civil module enhances drawing. The teachings provided in the first two years mainly fall within the learning area: Basic sciences and engineering training.
From the second semester of the second year and in the third in particular, the two types of curricula differentiate with disciplines that fall within the two learning areas in Environmental Engineering and Civil Engineering. Legal, economic, management and ethical aspects are dealt with in various teachings. In these last two learning areas, students may directly learn some potential areas of work by carrying out training internships in companies or public or private bodies, or in university departments on applied research projects.
The other training activities set forth by M.D. 270 complete the programme; optional activities are mainly part of the third year.

Changes in the study programmes based on the curricula available to students

The Degree Programme offers student two distinct training courses that culturally vary based on the two job-oriented learning areas (Environmental Engineering and Civil Engineering) and that coincide with the two curricula: Environmental Engineering curriculum and Civil Engineering curriculum. The two curricula substantially differ starting from the second semester of the second year.

Graduates acquire the ability to effectively describe, in written and oral form, the activities carried out and to communicate the results obtained with completeness of information and full comprehensibility, both within an organisation or a working group or with external stakeholders, of different cultural training or lower level of education, involved in work processes and in the context of public decision-making.
Graduates shall be able to draw up and interpret reports and internal technical standards relevant to their field; during the training programme, they have acquired the knowledge of the relevant aspects of the responsibilities of the engineering practice and the terminology to express themselves accordingly.
Graduates gain the ability to write and speak in English efficiently, at B1 level.
The exams, both in oral form and, for some teachings, through papers and reports, documents in numerical form and graphic content, carried out individually or with group work, contribute to the acquisition of the communicative skills. These activities and the final test are assessed to verify the student’s acquisition of communication skills.

Graduates acquire the ability to independently identify and solve standard problems, of medium difficulty, using in an appropriate way and critically methods, techniques, tools and management systems proper to the area of training. Graduates know how to process and interpret data useful to formulate autonomous and technically consistent judgments; they know how to integrate information with other elements extracted from fields of study related or interacting with their own. They are aware of the need to keep up-to-date.
Graduates acquire the ability to independently evaluate and compare the engineering solutions of a problem of limited complexity, and their environmental impacts in the social context.
The independence of judgment is achieved mainly by the activities in the distinctive disciplines, with the presentation of the methodologies of approach to important issues of the field and the critical analysis of the possible solutions. Laboratory activities contribute to enhance the independence of judgment, by comparing different analytical methodologies, the knowledge of technical regulations provided by different teachings, the use of simple computational models, the participation in group project activities, the carrying out of internships, the preparation of the final test.
The acquisition of this skill is verified during the oral exams and in the evaluation of the written tests, when envisaged, and in the final test.

Graduates, who have gained excellent knowledge and methodology for exploring the disciplines of the degree programme, develop the learning skills they need to pursue their studies independently both in the context of subsequent training programmes and in the continuous updating of their professional skills, when they enter the world of work.
Learning skills can be enhanced through the tutoring activity, with training activities carried out in part individually (essays), for the preparation of the final test. These skills are verified through the assessment of the papers drawn up by the students, the exams, and the final exam.
