This programme trains you to be a professional capable of working to protect the environment and implement the use of renewable energies by preparing you to design, plan, evaluate, manage and control the kinds of systems, processes and services linked to these activities. The curriculum explores the different applications of environmental processes and applied research with a quantitative approach. It particularly focuses on ways to transform materials and energy that maximise production yield and minimise risk and environmental impact with a view to achieving environmental – but also economic and social – sustainability and implementing the circular economy concept. Through the programme, you develop relevant skills thanks to the multidisciplinary yet practical approach employed. The course combines disciplines such as industrial, mechanical and energy engineering, analytical chemistry, applied microbiology, the assessment of risks and environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of products and processes, environmental law and the economy of multi-utilities. Graduates acquire the skills they need to work in the field of industrial biotechnologies linked to the promotion of renewable resources and renewable energies, with regard to both the chemical, microbiological and engineering aspects of conversion and production processes, and to assess the environmental impact that these processes can produce.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are so many, including top-notch teaching and research, eminently affordable tuition fees (see the relevant FAQ below for details), a markedly global and globally-minded attitude and being located in the incomparable city of Venice. Read all about them here: www.unive.it/10goodreasons. Being based in the historic centre of Venice, Ca’ Foscari offers the opportunity to study and carry out research in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. As you surely know, Venice is a very unique place. While it allows you to do the typical things you might expect – like wandering for hours and enjoying getting lost in its beauty – but it is also what you may not imagine: a place where student life spills into every public space and cultural engagement is around every corner. Venice also positions you at the heart of Europe, making it an easy and affordable jumping-off point for exploring the rest of Italy and beyond.
Ca’ Foscari is a public, federally subsidized institution that prioritizes internationalisation and assuring affordable access to university education for everyone, even students coming from abroad. Students from Italy or European Union/Schengen Area countries pay maximum tuition fees of around 2,400 euro per year for most bachelor’s degrees and around 2,600 euro per year for master’s degrees. Students from other parts of the world, depending on their nationality, pay less than this, sometimes as little as 700 euros per year. To learn about how much your tuition fees will be, explore Ca’ Foscari’s online application platform apply.unive.it. To make choosing Ca’ Foscari even more manageable for high-achieving international students, the university offers renewable merit-based scholarships dedicated to international bachelor’s and master’s students. There are also additional national scholarship programmes for master’s students. Read all about these opportunities here: https://www.unive.it/scholarships.
Ca’ Foscari’s science and technology teaching and research take place on its Scientific Campus, which was inaugurated in 2017 and continues to grow and expand. This focused campus fosters a close-knit, collaborative academic community and ensures you have access to state-of-the-art labs and equipment. You also get the chance to work with a large number of international visiting professors and cutting-edge Marie Curie researchers who expose you to new knowledge and fresh perspectives. You should also be pleased to hear that Ca’ Foscari is especially dedicated to the pursuit of sustainability in all its forms, including the safeguarding the future of our planet through the leveraging of scientific and technological research.
At Ca’ Foscari we believe that a university education needs to be international. This is why we offer a wide range of bachelor’s, master’s and PhD programmes completely taught in English, which are popular with both international students and Italian students interested in a markedly international classroom experience. At the same time, to make sure you take full advantage of everything Italy has to offer, English-taught programmes include an Italian course to get you started on learning the local language.
European and non-European students with an international qualification who wish to enrol in a bachelor's or master's degree programme at Ca' Foscari apply for admission via the online platform apply.unive.it. After uploading the required documentation and completing the procedure, additional information and the outcome of the application will be communicated via email.
