The three-year degree course in Mountain Sciences (L-25), the only one in ltaly, aims at providing graduates all the necessary competences for the analysis, design and management of mountain regions and their resources, with particular reference to Apennine and Mediterranean areas. The university training of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences graduates is enhanced by the promotion of mountain areas t o ensure financial, tourism and business growth. The training programme aims at a technician with diverse skills and abilities in forestry, agriculture, the environment and finance through the management of the natural resources of mountain areas with a view to improving the financial and environmental aspects. Graduates will be able to identify and avoid the risks of environmental degradation by offering sustainable solutions for hill and mountain agriculture and their products and identifying the potential of environmental tourism. Students will possess a good knowledge of chemistry and biology as well as their application-related aspects, they will learn the basics of scientific inquiry and they will be familiar with the advanced methods of analysis of environmental parameters. The main subjects taught are related to the practical applications of agricultural and forestry engineering. Students are taught how to approach reforestation projects aimed at safeguarding the soil and water springs, the stabilisation of slopes and river banks, the prevention and limitation of land degradation, the production, collection and improvement of mountain products. Students acquire competences related to the recovery of geographically and socio-economically remote mountain areas with a naturalistic and recreational value and they learn to plan and design parks and protected areas. The course on Mountain Sciences is a job-oriented course with a practical approach which allows graduates to quickly enter the job market and allows students to acquire solid foundations to continue his or her course of study with a second cycle degree course and a master's. The training includes time spent in the Alpine and Apennine environment and student mobility programmes (ERASMUS, training and internships in ltalian and foreign companies) |
