MASTER'S PROGRAMME IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION
For detailed information about the Degree Programme, please refer to the FULL CATALOGUE
Presentation
The Master's Programme can be completed in two years on a full-time basis and is equivalent to 120 ECTS credits.
The Programme comprises core and optional modules: the core modules are compulsory and form the common basis of the Programme; the optional modules deal with advanced environmental engineering topics.
You will also complete an extensive individual project that will end up in a final thesis.
All lectures are taught in English, and reports and exams are also in the same language.
Structure
The distribution of ECTS credits throughout the Master Programme is as follows:
- 84 credits for compulsory modules
- 18 credits for elective modules
- 17 credits for the final thesis project
- 1 credit for computing and telematic skills
