It is the longest-running advanced training programme in Italy on the topic of environmental sustainability. The Master's Degree in Environmental Management and Control (GECA) reaches its 30th edition with a postgraduate programme that seeks to respond to emerging challenges in sustainability, integrating crucial issues such as the circular economy, energy transition, decarbonisation, biodiversity, the measurement of socio-environmental impacts and the related geopolitical, economic, social and environmental implications, in line with the principles of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Thanks to an interdisciplinary approach and a constantly updated curriculum, the GECA Master's programme has trained hundreds of sustainability managers, capable of supporting companies, institutions and public bodies in defining strategies for the circular and efficient management of natural resources, with specific expertise in waste, energy, water and natural capital. The teaching programme alternates between internships and lectures, with partner companies working alongside students from the early months of the course and involved in many networking activities.
The deadline for applications is Thursday 4 December 2025.
