University of Pavia

Overview

The Environmental Engineering - Resilience to Climate Change Effects (REACH) master's program at the University of Pavia equips students with the skills to evaluate climate-related risks and develop effective solutions for water resources, aquatic ecosystems, and flood protection. This interdisciplinary program integrates advanced engineering principles with practical applications, utilizing modeling, fieldwork, and satellite data to inform decision-making and promote resilient infrastructure development.

What you'll study

The REACH master's curriculum blends advanced engineering coursework with a strong focus on climate resilience. Students will gain a deep understanding of technical foundations, which they will then apply to planning, monitoring, and designing interventions in environmental contexts.

Indicative course areas include:

• Continuum Mechanics
• Groundwater Contamination and Sustainable Urban Development
• Contamination and Remediation Technologies for Soil and Groundwater
• Water-Energy Sustainable Urban Development
• Satellite Data Analysis

Learning approach:

• Case-based problem solving related to the impacts of climate change on water systems and environments
• Modeling and data analysis to inform engineering decisions
• Integration of geospatial and satellite information for effective monitoring and assessment

Entry requirements

While specific GRE, GMAT, or GPA grading score requirements are not detailed for this program, prospective students are encouraged to refer to the university for any additional academic prerequisites.
