Learning objectives of PhD Program

The course aims at educating highly qualified researchers and professionals in the fields of civil, chemical and environmental engineering. The research topics concern the sustainable design of structures for civil and industrial engineering, production processes of materials and products and eco-sustainable treatment and reuse of waste. Special focus is on environmental aspects, including the assessment of the effects of earthquakes, landslides, floods, storms on structures, industrial accidents and air, water and soil pollution, and to the development of novel technologies, physical-mathematical models and safe and sustainable materials. 

Career perspectives

Graduates in our PhD programme in Civil, chemical and environmental engineering go on to top jobs where high qualification is requested as engineers, faculty members at eminent universities in Italy and abroad, researchers at private and public institutions, leaders in corporate and public service settings, engineering consultants, entrepreneurs.

International collaborations

Our faculty members have active research collaborations with top notch international scientists and universities/institutions. We have International Cooperation Agreements for double degrees with the University of Sao Paulo (Brasil), Technological University of La Haban, (Cuba) and The University of Western Ontario (Canada) and co-tutelle agreements and mobility agreements with many universities, research institutions and companies around the world that host our students for their external stayings.
