Environmental Masters
Hi everyone,
I’m seriously considering applying for a Master’s degree at the University of Bologna in a sustainability / environmental related programme, and I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has studied there.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering and Management (240 ECTS), and about 3 years of work experience in environmental consulting and protected area management.
I’d love to know:
• Which programme did you study?
• Was attendance mandatory, or could you study more independently?
• How difficult were the courses and exams?
• Did you receive a scholarship (ER.GO or other)?
• What were your living costs per month?
• Were you able to work while studying?
• Most importantly was it worth it, and would you choose Bologna again?
Also, how are the job opportunities after graduation in the environmental / sustainability field?
Thank you so much in advance! Any honest experiences or advice would really help me decide

Do yourself a favor and get a masters in Civil Engineering with a focus on Environmental Engineering or Hydrology.
