Objectives

The Master is the result of the Link Campus University's experience in the field of environmental safety, declined and completed through the analysis of various scenarios of technological innovation. Nowadays, the cultural, scientific and technical infrastructure employed for environmental action cannot stray from the strong bond registered between the "green" and "digital" domain.

We can stand by and watch the ongoing change or be a conscious protagonist of it: this Master's degree can open the doors of knowledge to make this cultural leap.

The Master is articulated in didactic modules designed to provide knowledge on the best scientific and technical knowledge in the IT sector (even 5th generation) for evironmental purposes such as geographic data; aerophotogrammetric surveys, environmental monitoring and diagnostics; creation of digital terrain models, from 2D and 3D cartography to B.I.M. (Building information modelling), sectors in which Link Campus University offers a specific compency deriving from the Geo-SAPR Research Centre (Geomatics and  Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) active for several years, thanks to which the University has achieved recognition as the first Italian university center authorized by Enac to issue qualifications for drone piloting.

Target Students and Career Opportunities

The aim of the Master is to provide graduate students (engineers, biologists, agronomists, geologists, graduates in forestry, computer technicians, graduates in law) and experts in the field (legal studies specialized in evironmental protection, engineers, CTU experts, Journalists specialized in the environmental field) with a unique opportunity for professional and cultural growth.

Furthermore, the Master provides a great opportunity for the training of executives and directors of societies providing services to the Public Administrations such as: waste management, decontamination, electro-magnetic pollution (5G), wastewater treatment, purifiers. The course even provides the competencies required to professionally support the Civil Society in addressing challenges related to security and environmental health, as well as a complete vision of the tools required for the programmation and environmental protection.

The University intends to stay up to date with the national and European legislation at all times. Hence, in the light of the present and future regulatory developments (ENAC, UE), we have upgraded the learning pathway of the Master for the purpose of providing for the training required to pass the test on the portal ENAC(fully operational as of 1 July 2020) for the attainment of the pilot's licence A1/A3 and at the same time to provide all the additional operational skills in the use of the APRs and ENVIRONMENTAL SENSORS, essential professional tools for activities environmental protection and safety monitoring activities.

For these reasons, the master incorporates a theoretical learning pathway aimed at the attainment of the basic qualification for pilots of remotely piloted aircraft systems, enabling the candidates to take the "Certificate of completion of the online training" for UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) Pilotes A1-A3, issued upon succssful completion of an online exam provided in the ENAC portal.

With said competencies, the "UAV Pilot" may carry out use activities in non-critical operations, intended as low-level aeronautics operations (ex. protected areas, parks and reservations, rural, forestal and mountain areas, etc.).

Admission 

Applicants to the Master in Anti-corruption must have attained a Specialist Degree, a Master's Degree, and/or a Degree of the Old System, obtained at a University of the Italian Republic; as well as another equivalent Higher Institute, or a degree attained at an International University, provided that said Degree Title is legally recognized in Italy.

All the aforementioned requirements must be demonstrated within the deadlines provided in the Academic Regulations, under penalty of non-admission to the Master's selection test.

Annual Tuition

The annual tuition fee, without financial benefits, for enrolling in the Master's program is € 10.000
